Rotors wont budge

[88LX]

the stang is done for the season and i pulled all 4 wheels off to inspect the brakes, it pulls hard to the right when braking. i tried spinning the rotors with one hand and it was very difficult. finally got'em to rotate with two hands. stuck calipers? thanks

well, if ya pull the calipers off and the rotors spin easy, you got it. im just playing with ya.

i would bet the calipers or slide pins went south, but i would need to see it to know more.

good luck.

You think it might be bad wheel bearings??

i was too busy being cute - that is part of where i was going with removing calipers. if it still sticks, check the bearings. i normally might not suspect the bearings, as they tend to get loud and have other symptoms, but he said he just took it down for 'the season'. im not sure what his season entailed.

good thoughts, Rockin.

try cracking the bleeder valve open.if the brakes free up then you could have a bad brake hose.you could also have a bad caliper or stuck caliper slides.
