Rear brake problems need help (weird) 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Josh on  Sun Jun 18 12:37 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hey,

'91se

My rear pass brake began to smoke today, when I got to where I was going my brother in law and I checked both rear brake pistons for movement...

Driver rear brake pistons: will bottom out and seem to work right.

Passenger rear brake pistons: spongy depress slightly and return to original position (half position).

After looking at the FAQ we dicide to replace the pass caliper. It goes on fine then while bleeding it we got minimal flow of brake fluid, such that when I loosened the nipple fluid would come out but never filled the clear tube and seemed to flow backward. It was not the typical experience of cracking the nipple and having the tube quickly fill with old fluid. The fluid bounced with the pumping of the brake but never built up any volume. It seems that there is minimal fluid reaching this caliper so I don't under stand how this caliper would lock up and start to burn up.....?

Help, what could this be?


Josh
