[DML] Re: Front brakes wont release

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The most likely causes are that your front calipers need to rebuilt
and it is also possible that you need new brake hoses. You should
consider rebuilding the whole system at one time. Generally if one
part fails it is because the fluid went bad and the whole system is
contaminated and will fail soon. Do the clutch too and change the
brake fluid in both systems every 2 years with Castrol GTLMA DOT 4.
