We have a 1987 Odessey 21' that we started on a trip and got about 15 miles from home when it started slowing down and started jerking to a stop while going up a mountain. The hugs were getting hot so thought it was the calipers. Sat on side of road for about 20 min and drove it home. Changed the calipers, hoses, brakes, checked rotors, fine. Then took it on a 1200 mile trip everything fine. Didn't get to go again for about 4 months but kept moving it around in the yard during that time. Got about 10 miles from home and it started slowing down and brakes were getting hot, sat on side of road for about 45 minutes while talking to someone that asked to help. When they cooled they worked fine for a while, we were in town and used the emergency brake part of the time. Headed home and without using the brakes it started slowing down again, pulled over again and it was getting warm, so sat for a little while before going on home. Pulled the flexible hoses and they were open but calipers would not release. Found out it was the reducer with some kind of valve in it that connects the front brake line to the master cylinder was only releasing the fluid part of the time. Will take for test drive to make sure that is all that is needed before trying to find that part without having to buy the $150 master cylinder.
