If you mean low of brake fluid, the answer is no. When a caliber locks up it is usually caused by contamination of moisture in the brake fluid. This causes the caliber to rust and then it will lock up. You are more than likely going to have to replace both front calipers. You also need to flush your brake system and put in fresh brake fluid.

Why are your brakes squealing after your brake pads and rotors were replaced?

The pads are vibrating against the caliber. Remove the pads and apply some anti-squeal to the back of the pads where they make contact with the caliber. Also make sure the slide pins are clean and free of rust.


How do you get a 2001 VW Bug out of park?

Make sure you have your foot all the way down solid on the brake pedal. There is a locking mechanism that prevents the car from being moved out of park unless the brake is firmly depressed. A mis-adjusted brake switch or the lock mechanism could go bad also, so listen for a light clicking sound when you press the brake (releasing the lock mechanism). If you dont' hear anything, it might be broke or stuck. I am not aware of anything special other than that.


How do you get stuck pads off of rotor on a 2004 Mazda 3?

The Caliber needs to be spunthat's why it has 2 holes on the face of it . So as it is being turned use a c clap to helping to collapse the caliber so it will fit the new brakes. i am not a mechanic but i did figure it out. make sure that you keep an eye on the brake fluid level at all time.


How do you replace front passenger side brake line?

Remove the line and replace it. Then make sure to keep the master cylinder full while you & a helper bleed the front brake caliber. Be sure and use brake line tools and not open-end wrenches or you will damage the brake lines.


How do I bleed brake fluid in a Ford Focus?

You will need a helper. Start at the Right Rear wheel and have the helper push down on the brake pedal and hold pressure then you will turn the bleed screw on the caliber counterclockwise. Once the brake pedal goes to the floor tighten the bleeder valve and then tell the helper to release the brake pedal. Keep repeating this until you see no more air bubble escaping from the caliber. Repeat these steps at the LR, the RF, and end up at the LF caliber. Make sure the helper keeps the master cylinder full at all times.

Why would the parking brake make a weird sound but not lock down on a 1991 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue?

More than likely the ratchet mechanism that causes the brake pedal to lock down is broken, perhaps due to a broken or disconnected spring. The "weird sound" could be the remainder of the mechanism brushing against the teeth where it would normally lock.
