front brake trouble

[sohc98]

i just bought a 95 neon w/98 engine swap 5 speed for $50 form a friend and the brakes rub so bad that when in third gear i cant accelerate at all and i already replaced all the pads rotors and calipers and bled the brakes and it still rubs. Another friend said that the master cylinder might be stuck open or something but i dont know. So i need some help.

Check the brake lines. (they are cheaper than a master cylinder...)

i was driving my car today an everything is working fine untill boom ( i thought my tire blew) my passenger rear brakes blew apart for some reason. the adjuster snapped and pretty much shattered my shoes and my tire locked up. Luckily i was only a block away from where i work just drove it their and put ne shoes on it and all new spring kit so its all good again but i was just wondering if that has ever happened to anyone befor.

That would just suck major a double S. Iv'e never seen that happen. Anyone else?

today i found out that my brake trouble was from clogged rubber brake hoses because i went to bleed the fronts and nothing came out so i checked them and thier blocked big time i couldnt even clean it out with compressed air so im gunna replace em tomorrow cause i got new ones with the car.

Somehow I think "I told you so" would fit really well right here...

Lol

[sohc98]

yeah i kno but im dumb and didnt listen and that made me spend money i didnt need to

[rice_eater]

Been there done that. Just make sure you learn from it and spend a little extra time and energy checking things out before throwing parts at it next time. It doesn't cost a thing to look.

[sohc98]

yeah ill check more carfully next time

If you're going to bleed the brakes, take the extra few minutes to replace all the fluid. You would have found your clogged lines sooner, and a car that old I'm sure needed it anyway.
