Binding brake

[MARINAMADBAZ]

Had the same problem on the gt bleed the brakes on the rear would get rear brakes and then not everything was good shoes/cylinders decided to change rear brake hose fluid would run out of metal pipe feed but wouldn't run out of the flexi end went undone the axle pipe feed change the hose instantly it would run out of the end of the flexi so flexi clear connected back up to axle pipe feed.I could blow thru the new no problem wen tried to blow thru old one I couldn't so yea it was breaking down inside but I suppose under hard pressure from master some fluid wasn't getting thru and them not so hoses can be a prob

Don't buy Ital hoses, the fronts are too long.

Bought and paid for!

Thank you very much for the link!!

Just fitted a new brake hose.
It's like a different car. Makes me wonder how long it's been like that!
Better on hills, better round bends, in fact, I cant remember it ever driving so nicely.

Thanks to all for the advice.

Thanks Dave.
Done about 100 miles today. It was spot on.

Well done Philip, that's what the forum is for, sharing information and advice.

I would never have thought a brake hose could have caused that issue. Well done mate

[Philip]

Thanks guys.
I think the hose was very old.
It had what looked like braided string around it.

I couldn't even blow down the old one.
I was really impressed that everything came undone so easily with no swearing.
Had a really nice run out after.
