8/22/2010 HouseCallAutoIf the master cylinder is full and there are no leaks and the brake pedal falls to the floor you can suspect that the master cylinder has failed. Did this happen overnight?

Should the rotor on front brake be loose where you can wiggle it with your handkulialoha - 1993 Saturn SC2 - Brakes - 8/7/2010brake on passenger side rotor is extremly loose and I dont know if its suppose to be looose,brakes make loud knocking noise like something is banging around in wheel

8/7/2010 HouseCallAutoYou will have to compare the left and right sides yourself and decide if there is an obvious problem on one side. I say this because with the tire removed it is normal to be able to wiggle the rotor some, maybe a 1/4 inch or more. If one side is really moving a lot on one side and not the other then you may have a destroyed hub bearing or the caliper bolts are missing or loose on one side. You have to look and decide. Compare each side and logic will tell you.

7/30/2010 BTX16It could be cause by a dirty Wheel Sensors, or the wire to the sensor breaks that cause the ABS light to illuminates. Clean the Wheel sensor and make sure that the air gap is correct, set a code and put system in default.
Check for the wires and make sure that the connectors are not been contaminated of moisture that can cause intermittents. Check the clamp to the brake hose too, if loose or disconnected.
You have to refer to a Anti-lock service Manual before to service the ABS system.

How do I remove a rusted on wheel hub assembly?David5408ski - 2004 Saturn Vue - Brakes - 7/3/2010I tried WD 40 and a sledge hammer and it didn't even budge............

7/3/2010 JunkFixerThe short answer is heat, & lots of it. If I can't break 'em free with my air hammer then out comes the torch. Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear. The good news is that I don't have to break out the torch very often.

Replaced the pads/rotors. Reconnected brake lines and am getting fluid from the caliper. Should I replace the Caliper?fred - 2002 Saturn L200 - Brakes - 5/18/2010
-
5/18/2010 HouseCallAutoYou separated the brake lines when you did the pads and rotors which was not necessary to do. You have to determine for sure that the brake fluid leak is indeed coming from the piston of the caliper and not where the hose connection is. If the piston is leaking then replace the caliper.

Out of nowhere i have no brakes then they come back then a couple weeks later they do the same thing againcami brown - 2002 Saturn L200 - Brakes - 4/16/2010

4/16/2010 Bobbythats an odd problem, typically when you lose the brake pedal it is due to loss of pressure, meaning a leak in the system. When that happens its no longer safe to drive the vehicle and you need to repair it right away. But the fact the brakes come back is confusing, i would have to say possible the mastr cylinder has a bad seal and there is an intermittent problem with the master, but that wouldn't be very common but thats where i would check first.

My brake light comes on while I'm driving. It goes off when I press the brake pedal, but comes back on.Meg - 2007 Saturn Aura - Brakes - 4/11/2010

4/11/2010 MikeCheck the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If it's low, that will cause the brake light to come on. Worn brake pads may be the reason the fluid is low.
