Locked Up Caliper By Clogged Brake Hose

In this video I show you a great example of a locked up brake caliper caused by a clogged brake hose. I also go into some techniques in diagnosing a clogged brake hose that causes a locked up caliper.

!!Warning!! If your brakes are locked up its going to be very hot just after driving. The whole area that is affected is going to be very hot. Let the vehicle cool down before attempting to diagnose the problem. Don't touch a hot rotor or any hot brake component! Injury can occur. An infrared thermometer would be suggested to verify that the area is cool enough to work on.

Note: this video and the videos linked below are very superficial and in no way should take the place of an appropriate repair manual for the vehicle which you are working on.

Of course it goes without saying but I'll say it. Tighten your brake bleeder and brake line where it goes into the flex hose back up after testing. Bleed as needed. I soft brake pedal is a good indication that the brakes need to be bleed.
