Chevy Blazer Sign In

I have a 1994 Chevy blazer. The driver front caliper seems to be sticking in that it takes a while for the pressure to release. After driving a little bit it frees up. The driver side when sprayed with water sizzles like a frying pan, the passenger side does not sizzle. I have bled the entire brake system and replaced the front brake pads and driver side rotor. Any thoughts?

As yet, you haven't done anything to help this problem. You need to replace both calipers and both front brake flex hoses. Either one can cause this problem. The hoses rupture internally and don't allow the fluid to return.

I replaced the drivers front flex brake line and bled the system. It works great. Thanks for the help.

You can likely expect more problems in the future if you don't replace both at the same time. It's the only way to get uniform braking.
