Thanks again Bryan,

I already flushed whole system twice, and the front calipers were pitted to the point where I was unable to rebuild it without honing the cylinders, which I can’t do.
So my next move will be to replace the wheel cylinders, I am sure they are in just as bad of the shape as the front calipers were. Meanwhile I asked my wife not to use the parking break and we’ll see what happens. Assuming if it’s a wheel cylinder problem, it will still manifest itself one way or the other, if it’s a parking break sticking (by the way it catches on very low, since I bought the car) I should have no dragging if parking breaks are not used….

Thanks again,

And all you DIYers … PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do the break flushing at recommended intervals or at least every three years. It should eliminate half of you/someone else’s “breaking” headaches. My systems was so contaminated that even after two break flushes I found a bunch of gum like rusty substance on the bottom portion of the caliper’s cylinders.
