[Spridgets] Bad braking

[Mike MacLean]

Replace all three of your flexible brake lines. B They get old and swell up so by pushing on the brake pedal, you force fluid through them, but it is slow to return due to the swelling.

Greeting List,

Shortly after buying my 79 a couple years ago I discovered the brakes,
front and rear, would hang up.B  After 20-30 minutes they would release.

The PO put new wheel cylinders on the rear, so I left them alone.B  Next I
pulled the calipers and rebuilt them.B  To be sure they worked the master
cylinder was replaced with a new one.

So I got everything back together and tested- fronts and rears would stop
all wheels and release immediately.B  That was a couple weeks ago.

Yesterday I realized the front calipers won't release.

Any ideas why?B  I'd rather drive the car with working brakes.

Thanks all!

Bri
