Changed the front discs and pads this morning. Careful (so I thought) to clamp off the flexible hoses to stop fluid going back to the brake unit - aware that can cause problems. Finished the job, got in the car to move it from where I had been working and brakes stuck on. Jacked up one side and brake on firm. Opened the bleed nipple that side and got the OH to push on the brake pedal and fluid flowed. Did up the bleed nipple and wheel moving. Did not check whether other wheels were free. Got in car, started it, hoping that all brakes free so that I could move it and in order to release parking brake had to push down brake pedal and brakes stuck on again.
My understanding of not pushing fluid back in to the masster cylinder is that it can screw a non return valve. Thinking that I may not have clamped off the flexible enough.
Anyone else experienced this and how did you sort it or, any suggestions as to how to cure this other than take it to a garage.
Many thanks for any help........
Currently, down in rural SW France, why, oh why, did I not do this in Lincolnshire! - still it is done now.
