[Roadsters] intermittent brake pulling

[Stan Rasmussen]

Hey -
I'm in the middle of replacing my calipers and pads at the moment, all done
except bleeding it all for a little more pedal now, hopefully.  Those
calipers can freeze up with enough moisture and sitting around.  If you need
to buy new one's shop around a bit as they are available for around $65 ea,
I believe I saw the best price at (Nissanparts.com) (I think that's where it
was) Part# 41101-14600 for the 70 SRL-311.  Good luck - Stan in Indy

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
