Stuck piston inside the brake caliper - or a blocked brake hose to that
brake. One can test the latter by "bleeding" the brake caliper on that
wheel. If copious amounts of brake fluid come from the bleed screw on
light brake application then the brake hose is OK and the caliper ought
to be replaced or rebuilt. If not then the hose must be replaced so the
brake releases after a stop.

I have an old one made by Gunson. It is a plastic bottle with a tube to the
fluid reservoir via a choice of caps, and another tube to the spare tyre.
The instructions are pretty insistent that you mustn`t exceed 20 (I think)
psi.
It works, but it is VITAL that there are no leaks in the fluid side of the
contraption, otherwise brake fluid sprays out under pressure.

Title: How the rebirth of the Pontiac G8 should have been
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:23:04 +0000
Author: bmfuller
The Autoline Daily today featured an article about a renamed and badged Pontiac G8, which is going to become the new Chevy Caprice. The catch is that it will only be used for fleet use, aka, police work.
There are two issues I have with this decision.
First, people have complained that the new Caprice, formerly the G8, will not be roomy enough for police work. They also say that there is not enough power under the hood for police work, as most Chevy sedans have no larger than a six-cylinder. The main police workhorse, the Ford Crown Victoria, has a V8.
Here’s my take. Chevy already has Impalas in police work. If they plan on continuing that, and especially if they decided to resurrect the G8 into a Chevy by making it fleet only, than this is what they should have done. They should make an Impala ESS, the ESS for Extended Super Sport. They could make a stretched/extended Impala, large enough for police work, such as the BMW 7 series with the 750i and 750 Li, the L designating the longer wheel base. Then the SS part would be either the Camaro tuned or the Corvette tuned V8, providing plenty of power to make the thing move. If they would make that type of vehicle for fleet use only, that would be ideal for the police, and good for Chevy/GM because it’s allowing them to compete more wholesomely with the Ford Crown Victoria.
