bar, I had a similar problem. The front disks would work but would not
release. In my case it turned out that the pushrods for the dual master
cylinders were not coming back out enough to allow the release hole in the
master cylinder to bleed back into the reservoir. Making adjustments to the
length of the rods solved the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
If the master cylinder isn't fully released, it will keep pressure on the
caliper. I had a rubber brake link in my Miata collapse internally and
cause this issue for a single caliper.<br>
<br>
I can't help you with the cause of the sticking, but certainly it sounds like
the master cylinder didn't fully release either due to an internal issue or a
linkage issue.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>HI all.<br>
  Yesterday while driving the GT6 home from work I took the ramp off
the Interstate rather briskly (as usual) and when I got to the end of the ramp
and tried to stop I was a bit surprised to find out that I had no brakes.
Luckily there were no other cars in sight and I cruised through the stop sign
unnoticed. I then tested the brakes gently  and was able to get them to
work. After deciding it was somewhat safe to proceed I drove up the road only
to have the front brakes grab and not release. I pulled over to find smoking
blue front rotors. When I opened the hood and looked around a bit I heard a
CLICK and saw the front master cylinder move and the brakes released. Could
this just be a simple matter of one of the master cylinders getting some
corrosion inside and sticking? This car has a double master cylinder
setup like many racecars have with willwood cylinders and a balance
bar.  It has been working flawlessly for several years but has been
parked a lot this summer and not really driven much at all lately.<br>
