Fox Bradley Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Hi All, just wondered if anyone has any ideas how to fix this problem. I just fitted a new brake master cylinder and 2 front wheel cylinders last week, but seem to have another issue now. Brakes work fine all round, but I have traced what appears to be a restriction between one front wheel cylinder and the T piece on the front axle. The solid pipes appear to be undamaged so I I'm thinking it's likely the T piece, do these have a valve in them at all.?The other thought would be the flexi pipe, can these become restricted with age, swell up inside etc ?The offending side is very hard to bleed, and sometimes causes the brake to hold on. Cracking off the bleed nipple releases the pressure so it's definitely within that section of pipeline. All the brake shoes are good, move freely. No fluid leaks. Everything else works fine. Thanks for your ideas on thisAll the best. Bob. Edited July 4, 2018 by Fox Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1944 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi This has all the symptoms of a collapsed hose. There is no valve in the tee piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) second that, take the flexible hose off and check it, or if it looks old just replace it anyway Edited July 4, 2018 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Change all the hoses -if one has gone, the others are on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Seconded! Change the lot there is a flexi hose at the back axle, one from under rad to front axle and one each to wheel cylindrer at front. . Change the lot! Do you have manual for brake adjustment procedure? It does need to be done by the book. Edited July 4, 2018 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
