She said that when you adjust your back brakes, you just turn them clockwise until you lock up the brakes, and then back off 4 flats, right?; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00982.html (8,580 bytes)

As a point of reference, my rear adjusters provide four clicks per 360 degrees. -- Todd Mullins Todd.Mullins@nrlssc.navy.mil On the lo; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00988.html (8,011 bytes)

Came to find out that the differential oil was leaking into the brake drums via a bad seal, which is a fairly common problem on A's. Check; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg00998.html (8,019 bytes)

Re: Brake bias (score: 1): Author: Kevin Sullivan <kevins@borris.khoros.unm.edu>; Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 11:17:35 -0600 (MDT); Yeah I need to go buy a can of brake cleaner to get all of that oil off the shoes and drum. How does oil make the brakes lock up? It seems that they would just not brake. Kevin Sullivan -- 1960 MGA k; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg01004.html (8,115 bytes)

Re: Brake bias (score: 1): Author: "Editors, Molecular Vision" <jboatri@emory.edu>; Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 13:58:19 -0400; Hmm, book says that the shoe pads cannot be cleaned once they get oil on them. I guess that this is because the pads are of porous material. You'd never be able to get all of the oil out. The oil is; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg01013.html (8,684 bytes)

9. Re: Brake bias (score: 1): Author: Ulix Goettsch <ulix@u.washington.edu>; Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 14:27:58 -0700 (PDT); When your rear brakes are oiled, your front brakes will lock in a panic stop and the front will dive more in normal braking. Adjusting the rear brakes will not change brake bias. The design of the hy; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg01024.html (9,292 bytes)

I'm not an expert, but as I recall, the oil loosens up the shoe lining and makes it soft, kinda like wa; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg01026.html (8,487 bytes)

You are half right, I had directional control. I got to choose which side I wanted the ass end of the car to pass me on. -- Trevor Boicey Ottawa, C; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg01052.html (8,102 bytes)

I'm no expert, and I may be full of dog doo, but let me give you my rationale, and see what you think. True, if the front wheels lock up, you have no; /html/mgs/1997-07/msg01086.html (10,176 bytes)
