Brake master cylinder - could it occasionally cause sticky rear brakes?

[Duane Black]

I put the stock hoses back on the rear as a few suggested the stainless coild cause issues back there, at least j and m would. I had the stock brakes get a little hot after going back to street brakes. I always have the master cylinder cap off when I back brakes off, should I possibly have the bleeder open too? It seems it gets stuck on the first drive and after that I'm fine. I don't recall this issue until this year. Could it be related to the ABS module or the master cylinder?

I wouldn't think so. I would look at possible binding of the pads or piston and pads. If the issue goes away after a short time, I would not expect the problem to be hydraulic.
Are you running stock for your year or the larger GT-500 rears?

Stock for my yea . The baby rotors!

 

[TMSBOSS]

K. I have had some issues with the larger upgrade.

Mechanical parts are good. Caliper slides freely?

 

[Duane Black]

I'll double check and re-lube everything.

Any car with ABS should probably have the fluid pushed out the bleed fitting rather than pushed back toward/into the ABS HCU.

If there was a burr on the piston from interference by the aftermarket banjo bolts, then the piston might stick a bit after it's been wound all the way back. This is the best theory I can come up with, but it's just a theory.

I'd be very surprised if it has anything to do with the hydraulic circuits - ABS or master cylinder. I think you'd have more problems than this if that's what was happening.

I may have discovered part of my problem. Usually the pads I bought didn't have the pin on the backing plate. I noticed when I got my new racing pads that 2 had a pin, 2 didn't. Realized I may have been backing the piston back and it just ramming the pin. It likely burned the brakes down until it got everything down smooth
