86 bronco ii
I went from having very little brake...to no brakes...to decent brakes....and now a stiff as a rock pedal and atleast one...if not both front calipers stuck. I havent messed with them yet either.
I took it for a spin after some tweaking and noticed i had it floored in 5th at 45-50 and was losing speed (i had good brakes when i left,..on a dirt road)...so i hit the clutch and it came to a stop pretty quick. Limped it back home and noticed both front rims were very hot (passenger more so then driver).....and it would not roll at all even on a hill....but i got no pulling of the wheel or anything so it kinda seems both are tied up? Rear drums are cool as a cucumber. Brake warning light is on (but its been on...i think the parking brake pedal thats unhooked dont come totally up)
Lines and hoses are new to pretty new.
Is this a master cylinder issue? Or calipers? Or something else? Never had an issue like this...usually i have brakes or i dont...or one wheel sticks.
