C15A brakes jamming

[harrygrey382]

Thanks guys. Yeah if I'd thought about it back then I would have switched to silicone as everything was new. I get what you're all saying about adjustment, pressures and collapsing flexi lines but releasing the pressure at each wheel cylinder makes no difference. So it can't be a pressure issue. Also after it sitting a couple of weeks same deal.

The park brake is disconncted - I removed all linkage (fitted a 2sp TC with brake drum). But all four wheels are behaving exactly the same anyway. Yep brand new lining. My using the adjusters to try and push the cylinders in then backing right off should rule out springs too.

Another thing I just thought of - the brakes actually work really well. As in at any speed, hit the peddle hard and all wheels lock up instantly, feather the pedal and it stops gently. Release the peddle and it'll release fine (up to a point of course). No wheels drag more than the others.

So nothing is seized. Master cylinder rod still could be out, washer back to front etc. but releasing pressure at each cylinder makes no difference. This is why I was thinking about wrong lining thickness. I just can't remember what the drums were like to get on. I may well be pulling it all apart but won't if I don't have to. It's not about to get registered - I'll just use it about the property for things like firewood and hunting before anything like that
