my vette's rear disc brakes hold for about two seconds after released for instance if you are stopped at a light and start to move the rear brakes drag bad  when moving. i have replace rear calipers and hoses and master cylinder, and it still does it , any answers

the problem is not in your brakes, it's in the rear end. the clutches in the rear end are sticking. you need to go to corvette shop, get the three bottles. 2-  lube and 1-friction reducing. you have to get at least 99% of the old lube out of the rear end, before you put in the new lube. it cost me $54.00 for all 3 bottles. it worked for me. I was told that it might not work, the other option was to rebuild the rear end, at a cost of $1,200 . I took a chance and it worked as soon as I started to drive it. Good Luck!!!

what.... ??????   brakes dragging is not the clutches in the rear end..   if those are clicking and making a racket...   find a parking lot...    make 10 tight turns to the left... then 10 tight turns to the right...  at low speeds... think going around in circles..   this works lube between the clutch plates and smooths any rough surfaces...  really works...  quiets things right down.

as for the first poster...  brake hoses do go bad... sometimes the valve block between the master and the brakes gets clogged or damaged... of off center... it does on some models block the passage when the center pin is off to one end...

the other thing might be clogged ports at the master...

and totally mis adjusted brake pushrod or pedal stop.. preventing the fluid from returning from the brakes as the piston inside the master is not fully retracted when the pedal is released...

I'm looking for assistance in eliminating the squeak I get when I apply the front brakes on my '05 Harley Wide Glide. I have " Hawg Halters" 4-piston calipers on the bike. I replaced the pads that came with the calipers. The replacements squeaked. I would also like to recommend Generic Viagra  for people like myself that have intimacy issues.
