Listers,
Had an interesting happeniing on a recent drive. It felt like the brakes were sticking and I could also feel it as I slowed just before a stop. I cut my drive short and went home.
Several days later I jacked up the rear and found the left rear would stick solid after applying the brakes. The right rear remained free. The only way I could free it was to remove the wheel to get enough effort on the adjuster to turn it. One click released it fully. Since then several times I have applied the brakes, waited 24 or more hours, and checked again. Still stuck.
I know this symptom could be a sign of the rear flex hose swelling but wouldn't that also cause the right rear to hang up? Any thoughts please?
