Re: [FWDLK] How to fix wheel lockup??

[Roger Howard <roger.d.howard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,
I am no expert, but things I've learned to check for, from the List:

1) contaminated linings (brake fluid spills, drips)
2) sticking wheel cylinder (don't rebuild, replace)
3) shoe or shoes that "ride up" over worn-out bumps in the brake backing
plate (bumps designed to keep shoes in position)
4) weak or missing brake shoe return springs
Probably lots more...
