Hello,
To begin I have a 1988 740 turbo wagon. The cars front brake calipers are bendix. While driving the other day the wheel starting shaking and when i pulled over the front driver side rotor was very very hot. So I got to inspecting the problem and the brake pads are locking up on the rotor. I have just put on new calipers about 500 miles ago , drivers and passenger side. While inspecting the caliper I noticed that all seems good, the pistons are not seized and the guide pins are moving very freely. I cannot figure out why the caliper will not let go of the rotor. Any advice is welcome and apprectiated. I have heard that a bad broke hose to the caliper can cause this, is replacing that an option? or should I be looking elsewere.
Thank you for any help.
