[Tigers] Sticking brakes

[Smit, Theo]

If you do this, remember that the master cylinder can pump more volume
than what's required to spit the wheel cylinder piston right out of its
bore. So  when Ron says "push the brake pedal some" he means "just a
little". Ideally you'd do this test after first restricting the movement
of the shoes with a really large hose clamp or something... If you get a
helper, make sure they understand not to floor the pedal.

Can it hang up internally; yes it can; with the wheel and drum off push
the
brake pedal some then release and watch the action of that cylinder.
This
will show if anything is hanging up for any reason.  Check that the
cylinder moves in and out properly and that the shoes retract; grease
the pads that the shoes ride on if needed.
