<VV> Brakes grabbing (rubbing ?)

[Stephen Upham]

I took the drums off before I read about the m/c clearance issue.  No  
matter, at this point as I already have the brake springs for all  
four wheels, so I might as well replace them.  During a visual of the  
cylinders, I pulled back the dust covers and there was no leakage.   
The wear of the pads appears by sight to be even, but I did not  
caliper them.  I did notice that there is a crack on the corner of  
the back left rear pad that cuts across the corner though the rivet  
of the pad. Again, these pads are pretty new having only about 5  
thousand miles on them, but I'm assuming that this would indicate  
that they may need to be replaced.  I'm taking the drums in to have  
them checked for round and thickness. I'll let you know what I find  
as I find it.
