1982 Chevy 30 Jamboree brake locking up	Mike	5-26-08
I have a 1982 Chevy 30 Jamboree. The front left brake is locking up "TIGHT" when I apply the brakes. I replaced the calliper and pads. Still does it, I was thinking it might be the master cylinder, but when I looked at it, I see a little distribution block located below the cylinder. Does anyone know if the distribution block could cause the problem? Or is it the Master cylinder? Thanx, Mike

Hi Mike replace the flex hoses from the frame to the caliper---they collapse andd act as chek valves--rebleed calip[ers with NEW Dot 3 fluid rich in va ps --i have done this to 5 of my chevy trucks,van and 2 fleetwood motorhomes--- ps i doubt it's the distribution block---

Mike, I had the exact same isuue. I have since replaced both flex lines but now my master cylinder seems to have taken a dump. Did new lines fix your problem?
