    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Well, let's assume the valve is good. Maybe a silly question, but are the longer shoes on the rear ? Rear is the secondary shoe position which is the longer shoe.

    Just slow, and hold it all the way down until both bleeder screws are closed. Be sure to make sure that the fluid level in the reservoir is OK before you do this and afterwards. Don't want to run it dry. It's a free experiment if you have brake fluid.

    I assume the mounting holes are already there in the frame and it's just a matter of bolting it up ? Been a while since I actually saw one in place.

    Well, I would see if there is a local sale 1st as less hassle for you. But, after whatever you think is a fair amount of time, you still have it ... Then we should talk routes. :anitoof: Thanks ! Britt
