    Help! Rear brakes sticking

    Bearing Play I have not checked the bearing play, but i will check it tommorrow. As a side note, the brakes bled easily this time as opposed to before when I got just a trickle of fluid out. I mentioned before that the PO had made a lot of "repairs" that I am now having to go back and...

    Update Ok, a quick update. I have had my car torn down for the past month working on the suspension and while I was at it, I re-sealed the rear rotors, replaced the pads, turned the rotors and replaced the hoses. I have great flow now while bleeding the brakes. However, I drove the car to...

    Help! Rear brakes sticking

    Help! Rear brakes sticking

    I just got my '86 a few months back and am in the process of fixing everything that the PO either rigged up or didn't fix on the car (which is a lot!). Anyways, my rear brakes are dragging. I can shift into neutral at like ten mph and the car will come to a complete stop as if the brakes are...
