I have a 75 nova with a weird brake problem. When the car gets hot(like crusing at the dream cruise.) the brakes get so hot that they lock up. any answers as how to fix this, or why it does it?

 

Do you hear a grinding noise or any noise at all? what kind of car an brakes are they? I am no pro but you better give some more details if you want a good answer lol. Could be the caliper sticking (like mine right now) its causing the whole rim to heat up extremely hot.. does your rim get super hot? try after driving feel each rim and see what one is the hottest and the problem should in that area!

IM NO PRO LOL!

 

woops I didnt see the Nova there.

 

No noise, but both rims get extremely hot. Also under the hood, the master is almost to hot to touch. When I pulled the wheels, the pistons seemed to push back ok(just a little hard)so I re-greased all the rubbers and took it for a ride. Didnt take long for them to feel like they were locking up again.
