[Healeys] Unbalanced Rear Brakes

[Tim Ward]

Hi Josef

There is no sign of any fluid leaking either on the tyre, or the floor, or
around the back of the hub.



I will check it when I take off the hub



Thanks



Tim

Hi Team



Your usual good advice will be greatly appreciated.



My BJ8 failed its annual Test this morning due to very unbalanced Rear
Brakes. The Front brakes were virtually perfect.



The Brakes were tested on a rolling road, front first and then the rear. The
Left Rear showed normal Braking efficiency with normal pedal pressure. Right
Rear showed below normal braking efficiency with very hard pedal pressure.
Used together the Right Brake was almost non existent, and therefore the
very unbalanced result.



Any thoughts as to what might be the reason for this?



In the past they have always been a little unbalanced, but within the
acceptable range.



Looking forward to your replies.



Thanks



Tim
