<div> <font size="4">When my TR3 did this it was caused by a wheel cylinder leak that soaked the brake shoes with brake fluid. I had to replace the cylinder and the shoes (which was fun since they are 10 inch brakes and NLA) and all has been well since.</font><br>

Subject: [TR] Brake drum grabbing<br>

<div id="AOLMsgPart_1_ac371f45-d8c4-489e-a1d2-6b9e5488cc68" style="margin: 0px;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #000;background-color: #fff;">
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>It has been one of those summers for the TR6. Almost to the point of wanting to
drive her into the river and leave her there!
Today's problem is a left
rear drum that is locking up under braking. I went to push the 72 out of the
garage (after releasing the e-brake) and found the brakes locked up on the left
rear side. We got her to finally move by rocking her back and forth. Everything
seemed to be fine until I stopped quickly on a drive. That side locked up. Under
slow normal braking it is fine. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe B
