I have a 1990 camaro rs 5.0l v8 5speed manual
It's been stood for about years previous to me buying it I've replace the rear shoes and front discs and pads stripped and rebuilt the callipers and changed the master cylinder new brake fluid too.
Problem 1 is you can't bleed the front brakes without the engine running even then it very little fluid comes out
Problem 2 is once the brakes are applied the brakes stay on and won't release
Any help would be great

The only left to change is the proportioning valve under the master cylinder but would this course this problem?

Hi Houlty1
Have you managed to sort it yet ??
You say once applied they stay on is that all4 or just the fronts ??
All I can suggest at the mo is work back from the caliper to master cylinder or visa versa to see if there's a change in effort req to bleed the fronts as you may have a blockage ??
Years a go I had a flexi hose blocked an found that by working back from the caliper at every connection
Hope this helps :thumbup:
