spinning the rear wheels for brake adj....

[RThompson]

John, you are right on about wet lining on the rear causing a pull problem. But to answer the orginal question, backing up with firm brake applications till the pedal comes back up is the easiest and best. (provided the adjusters aren't frozen) My personal preference is a steep driveway or hill and coast backwards and brake and repeat till they feel good.

If you want to determine if the pull is from front or rear, clamp off the rear brake hose with some shielded vise grips so as to not damage the hose or what ever means you have. This will cut the flow to the rear cylinders. If the pull is still there the problem is in the front. You will loose some of your braking power so don't get to heavy on the throttle. ----Sam

Well heck, shendren, if you'd let us know that illflem helped earlier, we would have known that your problem was greasy paw prints on the rotors

Doc, you should see my keyboard, I just wipe my K&N over it when it's time to reoil

I knew Sam had an idea on this

Was just waiting for the brake Guru to chime in. Excellent sugestion Sam. Its easy when you know all the tricks.

illflem - I used to do that with my hair (rub the K&N to re-oil). Now that I've rubbed my hair off, I've quit using the K&N

Thanks Pumperdude. ----Sometimes you have to have a few tricks up your sleave. Most of mine are not in the book but whatever it takes to get the job done is the important thing. ----Sam
