Brake pads dragging HELP
Experience racer, and darn good mechanic.
2008 Z06
New front pads, and new stock calipers. New pins.
New rotors
Complete brake flush, excluding Tech 2 cycling of abs
Had a fulll ABS bleed maybe 3 months ago, not related to current issues, just because friend was there with snap on too, that could cycle ABS>
First problem about a month ago, in a race the pedal suddenly went to the floor and no brakes.
Everything a bit old, so all new parts as above.
His first run today, pedal goes major spongy after a couple of laps... comes in and front brakes are cooking.
Pads are dragging.
Brake bleed, no help. Still dragging, as can't turn the rotor by hand - both front wheels.
Pulled the new pads, put in old 1/2 worn pads.
Still the same.
Put the old caliper back one with the old pads, still the same, after brakes have been applied, pistons not retracting into calipers.
Pedal goes 1/2 way to floor, spongy, but can pump it up where the 1/2 way point is firm -- of course rotor can't be turned by hand.
Had scanner on the car, no codes for anything.
So -- master cylinder ? ABS?
Engine not running, so not power booster.
