After it happened the second time, I pulled the vacuum line form the servo and plugged it. I put a few hundred miles on the car with the vacuum line off the servo, and the brakes have worked great.<div><br></div><div>This morning, I backed out the driveway, and I noticed the car wouldn't roll downhill. I pulled it back into the garage, and jacked it up to see where the wheels were locking.</div><div><br></div><div>The rear wheels turned freely, slight drag on the right rear.</div><div><br></div><div>By hand, the front wheels would not turn at all. Neither one.</div><div><br></div><div>Does unplugging vacuum from the servo completely remove the servo from the equation? Could a servo without vacuum still cause locking problems? I believe my servo is a Lockheed unit, put on by the PO, and the servo doesn't look that old.</div><div><br></div><div>The front calipers are recent rebuilds (2 years ago). Anything else that could cause the front brakes to lock up?</div><div><br></div><div>thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
