I just purchased a 1972 Pontiac Lemans Sports Conv. I have a problem with the brakes all of a sudden seem to engage without touching pedal
. seems to happen on both front discs. after i stop and car sits they retract and i can drive again. Any ideas? Thanks, John |

Time to redo the brakes. Could be a bad hose or vacume lacking to the booster. It is power brakes right?

loosen the m/c bolts when the brakes are sticking. if the brakes release, it is likely a pushrod problem or booster problem. If they remain stuck, it is a hydraulic problem (collapsed hose, etc..).

i have a ford here with a bad booster that applies the brakes, if nothing else seems bad this is also an option.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
