where's the distribution block for the brakes?

[hek1620]

i just replaced the stock lines with spl's. the pedal felt nice and taught for a little bit. but now it's pretty soft, but it'll still lock up if i make it. anyways, the brakes still drag a bit. could it be the distribution block? where is it, and how do i check if it's working right?

anyone??

distribution block? in the master cylinder. if you're talking about in the rear, it's a small square on the passenger side. Doubtful it'll be that.

Have you checked for leaks and changed fluids?

[hek1620]

i've changed everything.

[180fan]

then either you've 1. air or 2. got a leak somewhere.

i guess i'll bleed them again. but there's no leak. i keep checking the fluid level, and it's okay. so i don't think there's a leak. would air in the system make ur brakes stay stuck?

If all 4 of your brakes are dragging when the brake pedal released, the master cylinder may not be releasing the hydraulic pressure. If only some are dragging, the caliper piston may be hanging up or the slider pins are seized up.

when u buy new calipers, does it include said slider pins?
