JMitch76 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The right rear brakes are binding I have replaced the caliper, but fault is still the same! My classic has ABS, are there common issues with either the ABS modulator causing a single line to seize? A collapsed flexi hose? or problematic proportioning valve? Any advice would be welcome Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Flexi-hoses can spilt inside, I guess if it's spilt right the flap of loose stuff could be blocking the return of the fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMitch76 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks for your responses. Eventually got to the bottom of it Having replaced the rear flexi hoses, I was getting help with bleeding the brakes. I asked for the brake pedal to be released after locking off the bleed nipple and noticed the brake lights were still on. The wheels were refitted and a test drive confirmed that when the pedal was lifted the binding stopped Found the pedal spring was rusty and not allowing the it return fully! Not sure why it was just causing the right rear to bind, but anyway all fixed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
