Recently I've noticed that the rear brakes have had a habit of binding up,
particularly the left rear. This seems most evident when little pressure is
applied, like when rolling slowly to a stop. In this case it will literally
lock
up.
I've tried backing off the adjustment, but no success. So I assume that the
cylider needs repair or replacement.
I've also read that this was a drawback to the 10" design and the reason why
it was reverted back to 9".
It appears that the .625"-5/8" repair kit may be available, but not the
cylinders themselves, only the .75". I am also not sure of the bore, since I
haven't removed these for measurement. This has been the only portion of the
brake
system I have not repaired in these last three years.
Igf I go to the larger bore (.75") wouldn't there be a greater tendency to
bind?
So, plan of attack ...do I replace the cylinders (both sides), replace the
adjusters, or rebuild with "repair kit".
Any recommendations?
