Another brake issue

[tankie88]

Yesterday i changed both front flexy brake hose and bled them.Now the rear brakes stay on.Before when i switched of the motor something in the air system would release air slowly for a hour.It would make a ticking sound.After changing the pipes on the front this ticking sound had stopped and the air stays built up.Anyone any ideas????

When you bled the brakes, did you bleed the air pack first?
Brakes staying on after application point to an air pack problem. Do the brakes release when you open the air pack bleeder?

The ticking might be coming from the tanks.... did you get under it and do a ear inspection...?

Prob sorted................on bleeding the brakes the pushrod that goes into the master cylinder popped out of the piston and was sitting crooked.A quick stamp on the brake and someone levering the pushrod on the return into the middle sorted it.Should have noticed it really the same happens when i change pads on the M1009.

Glad to hear! We like simple fixes.
