Can anyone help me. Have a 73 XKE, after driving the car 15 to 20 minutes the front brakes start sticking and gets hot. Will not release until brakes cool down. The front calibers and brake lines were changed. No change. The master cylinder was changed several years ago. Very little use and miles were done during this period. Current mechanic took the master cylinder apart and says it is fine.

Any ideas?

 

Maikel Lemke has many good E videos and this one may give you some ideas...not sure all the parts would be the same (earlier vs later).

 

Thanks Valerie, my front brakes are sticking. I have replaced my front brake calibers as well my brake lines. No difference. After 15 to 20 min of driving stop and go, the front brakes stick and will not release until I stop and cool them.

 

It's often a brake hose collapsing internally or the servo. In the servo the air/vacuum cylinder can dry out and stick.

 

Here's a link for what appears to be the same/similar issue:
