[Roadsters] intermittent brake pulling

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 What causes the sticking? Bad fluid, water, dirt, air, all of the above? Last, can you tap on the housing to unstick? Seems to work for other parts sometimes

hi all,i agree with craig on what might be causing the pulling of the brakes.

but i will add that, as a result of the calipers sticking, one side

is probably heating up more than the other, which can cause the wheel

to pull. just my humble opinion.   bob smith , ohio.> Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008

The last three or four times driving the car, the pulling has been to the left
and very hard/severe. Last evening the pulling was hard and to the left, then
once I had been on the road for about 10 miles or so, the pulling was back to
the right and not very hard. (I have put the brake work on the SRL on hold
until after our Midwest Roadster Run next weekend.)> > I have not had the
