| 1988 Ford Aerostar Mini Van |
I have an 1988 Ford Aerostar, and the driver side front brake
won’t release. I’ve already replaced the caliper, but that hasn’t fixed
the problem. Is there some other part of the brake system that would
control the release of the brake pad.
Answer: You most likely
have a bad brake hose. Due to age and degradation of the rubber
internally collapses and acts like a one way pressure valve. Pressure in
the brake system passed the restriction in the hose is not released
when the brakes are released. You
also want to make sure that the slides were properly lubed when the
calipers were installed. If you change the brake hose, you should
replace both at the same time. Good luck.
