Change the brake hoses going to the calipers. these hoses deteriorate from the inside and clog up not letting the fluid back out of the calipers. there is also one for the back brakes I recommend to replace this one too.

Brakes fail traveling at15/20m makes a grinding sound, but brakes ok at speed.

A grinding sound usually suggests metal to metal contact but, as you say, you have changed the pads and disks.

What springs to mind is that that the brake backing plate - the metal disk on the inboard side - are being touched by the spinning disk, or the noise is being caused by a driveshaft or bearing.

However, there are other possibilities. Are there any shims in your braking system? Shims hold the pads in place and stop squeal/rattle.

It also could be that the pads are not being fully released from the disk when the brake pedal is pressed. Depending on your calliper set up it may be something as simple as a slide that is sticking and needs cleaning.

Brake pads are released from the disk by what is nothing more than the spinning of the disk 'knocking' things back. Assisted by rubber sleeves on 'slide pins'. Something may be sticking and need cleaning and a smear of copper grease added.

It would be too easy to say that you have a vacuum leak (or internal seal) problem in the brake servo. A servo problem usually results in a 'hard' brake pedal at all speeds. You don't have this problem.

It may well be that your brakes feel 'spongy' at low speeds because the pads are not being shoved back from the disk because of sticking slides (depending on your system).

It also may be that the pistons in your calliper are sticking.

You obviously can work on cars and use tools - consider overhauling your brake callipers (look on Ebay for overhaul kits) but bear in mind that doing this also means you have to bleed the brakes.

Drain brake fluid

check for fluid leaks at hoses , pipes and brake callipers and cylinder units. Pull the vacuum hose off the booster and check for brake fluid in the hose. (wet). Repair the fault-replace calliper leaks, replace wheel cylinders , replace brake lines and replace the brake booster.

Fill with brake fluid and bleed out starting at the longest line first and finishing at the shortest.

Brake sticking

indicates that the calliper slide pins ( the pins that are bolted to the frame that bolts to the axle mount) are rusted up
the purpose of these pins is to allow centralization of the calliper on the rotor on brake application and allow centralization again when the brakes are released with out this action the pad on the outside of the rotor stay in hard contact and makes the brakes drag
next check is the brake master cylinder has a blocked compensation port and that is keeping the brakes applied as the fluid cannot return to the reservoir after the brake application
take it to a brake specialist shop for a proper diagnosis and quote

Have a front brake sticking problem have replaced calpers lines and pads and their still sticking in a 1995 buick road master

are you talking about both front brakes sticking.by lines i assume you mean the brake flex hoses.have you checked to make sure that the sliding surfaces are smooth and free of damaged surfaces and the brake pad clips are in the proper places.if so and all this is good that you have done then you could have a master cylinder that is not releasing pressure for the front brakes,or you could have a defective flex hose(if they are not twisted) that is blocking the fluid from releasing the calipers.

Brake problem

hi it sounds to me to be a sticking brake. my advice is to jack up each wheel and check if it rotates. it could be a sticking calliper on the ftont or rear. if it is the back wheel it could be a sticking handbrake cable. try wrigling the cable but make sure the car is secure before going under it.

How to change back brakes? I can't get the brake cylinder to go in.

Do you mean back brake pads or the back brake callipers?
To change pads you need to use a rear brake pads changing tool to screw in the calliper piston or if you are experienced enough you could screw in the calliper with a two mm thick piece of metal sheeting that fits into the grove of the piston.
If you need to replace the whole calliper remove the hand brake cable first and clamp the flexible brake hose remove brake hose, remove the callier with cylinder and then remove the calliper holder. fit new holder pads and locks and the calliper with the piston and the brake hose and the hand brake cable. Bleed the brakes. Mike

2000 Chevy Can't compress brake cylindar

it may be that the flexi brake hose is perrished on the inside and not letting the fluid back up the system. try pushing the piston back with the bleed screw out, if this works then a collapsed flexi hose is favourite. if this is a rear calliper then they may be the screw in type, does the calliper have a lever on it for the parking brake.
