So yesterday i did a 2 person brake bleed and when I finished the bleed and tried to get my car out of my garage the front wheels got locked up. When I remove my wheels and spin the brake discs with my hand the discs spins freely. But as soon as I put the wheel on and tighten on, and I tighten the bolts the wheel spins for 2-4 degrees though I use all my strength to spin the wheel. Then completely lockes up. But as soon as I take the Wheel out the brake discs spins freely.

I have also used my scanner to pump the abs for about 5 times I don’t see any fluid or nipple on the abs module but you can clearly hear something is happening, som sort of pump doing its job

update: I installed my old wheels and they spin freely therefore I’m suspecting the problem has nothing to do with the bleeding part but the problem lies in the rim. FYI the rims I’m that has the problem are old

Sounds to me like it's got something to do with the wheels. Why would it lock up after the wheels are tightened? Are they pinching the rotor or is the caliper rotor misaligned? Sounds strange. Let us know what you find

tehstylie

will let you know
I’ve used the wheels before with no problem so i dont think its the wheel that is the issue.

Stupid question. Did you lower the other side down already? The amount of freedom you mention sounds like that inherent in the drivetrain.

tehstylie

yes i did lower the car
