Re: Brake Issues-Lock up-Burn up
Something else to be aware off...
Many years ago I had a similar issue. One rear brake would lock up and get the drum extremely hot. Checked everything and finally found out that the rubber brake hose on top of the axle was almost swelled shut on the inside.
The pressure from the booster/master cylinder forces the fluid through, but the spring retraction is not strong enough to allow the return of the fluid.
I checked it with the wheel raised up and truck chocked. Ran the engine slowly and stepped on the brake. I couldn't get it unlocked unless I released the pressure with the bleed valve.
I replaced all of them.
