It was already mentioned that you should have checked your parking brake operation. It isn't normally necessary to grease anything, but there are places where the hardware touches and slides on the backing plate, and it is acceptable to lightly lube those spots. Did you rebuild the wheel cylinders, or replace them? And bleed them well? If you did it by the book, little is left except the brake lines, the master cylinder, and the proportioning valve. I replaced one wheel cylinder that had been leaking.all parts were cleaned,there is no binding of anything that I can see.the brakes were bled numerous times,brake lines were replaced from the front to the back.the only parts not changed are the master cylinder and proportioning valve. > I replaced one wheel cylinder that had been leaking.all parts were > cleaned,there is no binding of anything that I can see.the brakes were > bled numerous times,brake lines were replaced from the front to the > back.the only parts not changed are the master cylinder and proportioning > valve. Have you replace the hoses? Sometimes on GM's they come apart internally and act as one-way valves. Open the wheel cylinder bleeder if the brakes loosen up start looking for, as mentioned, a bad hose, or a hydrualic problem further forward. >I own a 1994 ranger,last week my left rear brake started hanging up.then > both left and right started.since then i have replaced the shoes,spring > kit,and rear drums to no avail.they do not seem to want to release. does > anyone know of anything else i could try.please help!!! i'm just curious as to whether or not this particular model came with abs brake system? |
