Bleeding your brakes can help remove air bubbles and moisture from the brake fluid, which can improve brake responsiveness and performance. However, if your brakes are locking up, it may be due to other issues such as a malfunctioning brake proportioning valve, stuck calipers, or worn brake components. While bleeding can improve overall brake function, it may not directly resolve the locking issue. It's best to diagnose the root cause of the problem for a proper solution.
