Hello Friends,
I have found the source of my MGB's brake failure.
A look at the brake drum gave the first clue. It
had a buildup of brake fluid and dirt on the exterior
http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0668.JPG . The hub was
also overly greasy
http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0669.JPG , which may have
have nothing to do with the brake failure. The brake
fluid was all over everything
http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0665.JPG including the
leaking cylinder http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0666.JPG
.
All of this changes the plans. I will now rebuild
the rear brakes on both sides. I'll rebuild the
cylinders and install new shoes. The drums are both
undamaged.
Regards,
rick
