Try loosening handbrake cable till it is loose. Remove rear wheels, check the shoes and replace if necessary and then check if there is any 'drag' on the drums. Adjust the brake shoes out with the adjuster at the top of the mechanism, then check, with the drum back on, for a little drag on the drum. The drum should be a little tight. Replace the wheels and bleed the brakes, adjust up the hand brake cable. Then check the front pads,bleed the front calipers and you should be cool. Thirsty |
