<VV> for Pete's Sake! Can we let Roger move on and talk about locking brakes??

[aircooled6 at prodigy.net]

This Roger guy got stung and wants to move on.  Sorry about it, but I  
cant do anything about it.

Not everyone has elephant hide for skin and sometimes folks come  
across as not so welcoming in this group.  Doesnt mean we arent  
welcoming, just that sometimes it doesnt seem so.

One can deal with it or not.  Im not sure why his buying a car from  
Pastor B has anything to do with the price of gasoline in Idaho, but  
whatever.

Meanwhile, back at the outhouse.......


I am getting a strong pull to the right when I apply the brakes in my  
67 4 door.  I should say I have a almost lock-up pull to the right,  
particularly when doing anything other than a slow easy stop.

I replaced the wheel cylinders (both sides).  Replaced the shoes on  
that side (Wet with fluid, which I thought was the problem).  and the  
first hard stop, it almost took the wheel out of my hands. Oh, I  
cleaned the inside of the drum with solvent (brake-kleen or some  
such) assuming that the metal was soaked with fluid.  Next I  
thought,    OK,  maybe the rubber hose is constricted, its only about  
4 years old, but not too expensive.  I replaced that one tonight, but  
got interrupted when my eldest step-son came careening into the  
driveway crying that his fiancee had packed up and left him while he  
was at work.  Then my step daughter got hit from behind in our Big  
Van (enlarged the small dent in the bumper that was already there)  
and so, I havent gotten a chance to test-drive the vair yet, but are  
there other items I should look for????

I need to get this thing drivable again because we have "issues" with  
the step-daughters car (why she was driving the van) that I cannot  
figure out right now and we need wheels.

So.  Help!

Good Night Roger,

Happy New Year to All.

Maybe Ill sell my 4-door and buy a Rampside!!
