brakes
I'm working on a club members 95 convertible vette. The rear brakes lock up after a few miles. When the car cools ,it's ok to drive, until it gets hot again. Has anyone here had this problem?

Just a guess. 1. Could be the old rubber lines collapsing on the inside not letting the fluid return, I see this happen on the front lines also. 2. Calipers need rebuilt. 3. parking brakes? 4. ABS valve sticking. 5. Master cylinder. I would start by loosening the rear caliper bleeder when they are stuck to see if they release.

Calipers not releasing when you take foot of brake. Spray some Brake fluid clean near the bores of the pistons and push brake to floor a couple of times. Also inspect bleeders for leakage and bleed screws should be open and bled for air might be in lines.
