Dear Rey, Alan is correct about the calipers and hoses. I would try the hoses first, as I have had the interior of a front brake hose decay and separate and then act as a check valve and restrict the

Had an interesting happeniing on a recent drive. It felt like the brakes were sticking and I could also feel it as I slowed just before a stop. I cut my drive short and went home. Several days later

Could also be a problem with that wheel cylinder--the hydraulics have enough force to push the piston out, but the return springs don't have enough to pull it back in. Come to think of it, have you p

Forgot to mentiion. I did pull the brake drum and it was dry as a bone inside. No dampness around the wheel cylinder or on back of backplate. Brakes have not been touched in several years. Could ther

Replace your flexible brake line. As they age, they will collapse and hold the pressure after application. Mike MacLean 56 BN2 60 AN5 _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.tea

As you have to check the lot you may as well dismantle both sides completely, clean, inspect the brake cylinders and replace the seals if the bores are without any scoring or renew the cylinders all

Just drive it more. Just use it. Dont just be a karate kid. Wax on, wax off...... Drive it! If you haven't recently, then rebuild your entire brake system. ;-) At least twice. Or drive it more often

I have fixed this problem on 2 Healeys. Both had sticky hydraulics. One had very dirty disc brake calipers. We dismantled, cleaned and problem was gone. On the BN-1 and BN-2 master cylinders, they ar
