Stickie Brake Caliber 140-160 1968

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Acton on  Wed Nov 14 13:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The passenger side front brake caliber on my '68 145s has developed a tendency to stick in the braking position after a few stops. After sitting for a few minutes, it "unlocks" and is fine for a few more stops. Although the pads are lower on this side then the other, there is still enough. Rotors appear to be in good shape, however, I've probably worped them in the last week by excessive heat. I flushed the brake system as best as I could as a one-man team. Thoughts on causes and cures.

FYI, the car set for a number of years until two months ago.
