Monaro front left breaks jamming

[SMG_07]

hi guys

i have a bit of a porblem here

i did something and i think it was stupid

what i did was that my break fluid was old and watery and dirty .. so i decided to go to an oil changing shop and used a sucking stick to suck all the oil from my break box and replace it with new fluid .. thats all i did

its alot better and firmer than before and now my front left break is jamming when i park .. and when i drive off it unjams but it happends everytime i break to a full stop

can u help guys
my car is a monaro v6 Non s/c ecotech engine and stock breaks

[Adds_05]

maybe theres air in the lines?

[MR_VX]

i thought all the v6 monaros where s/c from factory? did you replace the motor?

[SMG_07]

well i dont know .. do air in the lines jam the break ?

and no its a stock engine .. here in the middle east its called Chevrolet lumina coupe

More than likely you will need to bleed the brakes as any air in the system will cause problems.

nooo i dont wanna do that dont have much to spend now and im planning to sell the car .. is there any other way ??

[faBReGaS]

Sounds like you need to bleed the lines mate. There is air in there and there is no other way of fixing this. It probably would of been cheaper and better for your car in the end if you had just changed it the proper way.. Anyway goodluck

awwh DAMN !
but can i just bleed the lind that is jamming or the front lines only ?

[calais24/7]

Nah bledd all four mate, start from the one that is furthest from the brake mastercylinder then work your way to closest, so probably (passenger rear, drivers rear, passenger front, drivers front) if you get what i mean. Bleeding the system isn't hard and its free

Your lack of knowledge and obvious failure to accept advice from others, suggests to me that you should be engaging the services of a qualified mechanic (preferably a brake specialist) to repair the problem. To do otherwise shows a complete lack of understanding of road safety or consideration for the safety and well being of other road users.

Well said Benboy.

But then what do you expect from someone who cannot even spell "BRAKE."

You cannot legally mess with the plumbing in your house but anyone with zero knowledge can mess with the brakes on their car. Here is a classic example.

It's frightening to think that these types are allowed on the road regardless.

He's not on our roads so who cares ???

bleeding them is easy get a coke bottle fill it with brake fluid. get a bit of hose connect it to the nipple then into the coke bottle..
and proceed to pump the pedal.. then repeat. dont know y you are complaining about it

I got lucky with this, i had to bleed my rear back brake and in the end didn't need to do them all.

[DevilDRake]

Bleeding brakes it easy as shit man, you start furthest from the main brake cylinder, so front 2 then back 2.

But get someone to do it with you, the person pumping hits it a few times then holds the brake flat down. Then the other person tries to move the rotor to see how the brakes are moving. Should take like 2-3 times of pumping before it's all good.

[faBReGaS]

Just take it to a mechanic!!!! it wont even cost you that much!! Would you rather pay to get your brakes bled or pay to fix your front end and someone elses rear end when your brakes fail you? or even worse pay with the guilt of killing someone because you couldnt stop! If you dont know how to do it then just get it done by a professional or dont drive the car. simple.

this is very true and needs to be looked at by the govenrment. i saw a thread on here about changing pads and no reffernce was given to minimum thickness of the rotors untill i brought it up so some one could of gone and tried changing pads and had undersize rotors and caused an accident as the thiner the rotor the further the stoping distance
