If the brakes on your transit start to bind and the pedal goes hard after a few miles, it could indicate a problem with the brake system, such as a stuck caliper, a malfunctioning brake booster, or issues with the brake lines. A stuck caliper can cause excessive friction, leading to overheating and brake fade. Additionally, a failing brake booster may not provide adequate assistance, making the pedal feel hard. It's important to have your braking system inspected by a professional to identify and resolve the issue safely.

How do you change the rear brakes on a transit T330?

To change the rear brakes on a Transit T330, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the rear wheels. Then, remove the brake caliper by unbolting it from the bracket, and slide it off the rotor. Take out the old brake pads, replace them with new ones, and reattach the caliper. Finally, reassemble the wheel, lower the vehicle, and pump the brake pedal to ensure proper pad seating.

Why does the brake pedal seem very soft even though brakes work?

asuming the brakes are fine. what we have is servo assistance all cars have brake servo's these unit's aid the driver to operate the brakes because with out servo assistance you could not stop the car on your own. how ever if you must check your brakes turn the car off now pump the brake pedal after 3 or 4 maybe 5 pumps of the pedal it should become solid if it not then get them looked at. but lets say they are now with the pedal feeling solid hold the pedal down as hard as you can now start the car now as you start the car the pedal should go down pretty much all the way down this is the servo kicking in which is great but if the pedal does not go down the servo needs looking at. and this goes for all cars .


My Audi Allroad will start and run fine but wont come out of park. The brake pedal light stays on all the time.?

looks like your brakes are in need of attention there is an interlock that requires you to push on the brake pedal to be able to move transmission out of park no pressure on the brakes no go on the shifter


Why does the brake pedal push back on you when you come to a stop?

This is because of the antilock brake systems, or ABS. When the ABS is activated in a vehicle it can feel like the pedal is pushing back at you when you stop or start to slowly press the brakes.


You just changed your front disc brakes on a 04 santa fe But the pedal seems to be to loose did you miss something?

As you let off the gas pedal AND start braking you feel your brake pedal pulsate against your foot What could this be?

If your vehicle has disk brakes, then this is a sign the rotors are warped, not flat like they need to be. When you apply the brakes, the brake pad comes in against the rotor and as it rotates, it should stay flat against the rotor, but yorus must be warper and as the high and low spots rotate by the brake pads, this pulses the pedal which you feel.


Brake Pedal goes to floor after changing brakes on 2003 Saturn L200 and bleeding brakes throughly What could be problem Car is mint too new to be master cylinder 30K miles?

After changing the brakes the first few times you press on the brake pedal it will go to the floor; that's because the calipers haven't been pushed back to position. Remember that you had to retract the calipers completely before you could put in the new brake pads. Sometimes it takes a few pumps before the calipers are back in position. Make certain that the brake fluid is all the way up, then bleed the brakes again, and watch that fluid level. If it goes low for just one pedal push then you'll suck air again and you'll have to start over. Just one bubble of air in the brakes will cause trouble.
