[Mgs] MGA 1500 Front Brakes

[Robert's New iPad]

   Try driving the car 1/2 mile or so, then stop and feel the wheels & brakes.  A dragging brake will warm the wheel.
   A friend had a Mercedes that acted similarly.  Problem was a brake hose gone bad internally.  A bit of the inner lining peeled, would allow the brake to operate but then would act as a check valve and not release the fluid pressure.  The drag would warm the brake drums & cylinders, expand the fluid, and the wheel would really stick.

Still same result.  Took off the drum cleaned with brake cleaner, even though all looked good, same result. Bleed the front brakes a good amount, same result. Clamped both wheel cylinders to ck movement of each. Both are moving. The front brakes were fully redone everything mid last summer. Put all back together, same result. Iv’e ordered new cylinders and will replace when arrive. Any other ideas???
