Help! Odd problem with brakes
Love this forum! Quite the wealth of knowledge! Thanks to all! I will put a parts list together this weekend and order them up...mainly hoses and M/C. Also, are there any particular brands of brake parts I should use...or avoid? Was planning to just go to local parts store...which I think is all crap from china now...but what can ya do?
I would check out Rockauto.com, I use them quite often. Remember that the bleeding sequence is not the normal RR,LR,RF,LF because of the location of the ABS pump. I do not remember the correct sequence off the top of my head, but someone here should chime in.
There's another possibility; This happened to me several years ago. I noticed my Left front Wheel was running Hotter the the rest.
You could also have a Caliper/piston hanging up slightly when the brakes heat up, due to Grime or Corrosion in the Caliper Bore/Piston Area. I removed the Calipers.. Blew out the pistons, Cleaned the Bore , and Pistons thoroughly, and installed new Seals. On All Four Corners!

It doesn't matter what order you bleed the brakes, as long as you do the right side first. The front and rear brake circuits are completely separate, so there is no interaction between them.
If I remember correctly, the federal law changed in 1967 that stated ALL cars and trucks MUST have a dual MC. Its also the year cars, pick ups had to have seat belts , not real sure but that might be the year for padded dash also.
