My pads seem to be locking up on the deep groove. Can anybody tell me what to do without replacing the part? I can't remember what it is called. I have seen some vehicles where you can buy a click and it covers the grooves then brakes work fine. Any help would be nice.

 

Is this what you mean




I just used a good file and filed it down dont have any problems dont go to crazy just try to smooth it out in the area that the grove is to take the ridge off.

 

After replacing master cylinder, which needed it anyways and hoses. The pads still bind so i have to file that down next week when I don't have my kids.

Does this look like the right cylinder? lol

I cant tell by the pic.

If you still have the old flex brake lines I suggest replacing them they can cause caliper binding new guide pins/bolts are a good idea and only $5 the flex lines are $25 a side if you can afford it get all new calipers you can get them with the new bolts and pads all in one shot.

 

Yea the hoses are done and calipers are new and slide pins are new and greased. I tried it without pads and the pins let it slide side to side very easily.

 

It’s very strange that groove how did it happen and why what was wrong to cause such a force so strong it put a groove in the knuckle or was it just vibration that caused it?

Groove not grove I was spelling it wrong

 

I had warped rotors a few years back and it must have slid side to side so fast it grooved em.

 

Personally I'd look at replacing them with a wrecker set,that is in good shape. Give them a good media blast and wipe with acetone. Then look at a high heat self etching primer, then a good build up of that Teflon paint.
