Listers,

Had an interesting happeniing on a recent drive.  It felt like the brakes were 
sticking and I could also feel it as I slowed just before a stop.  I cut my 
drive short and went home.

Several days later I jacked up the rear and found the left rear would stick 
solid after applying the brakes.  The right rear remained free.  The only way I 
could free it was to remove the wheel to get enough effort on the adjuster to 
turn it.  One click released it fully.  Since then several times I have applied 
the brakes, waited 24 or more hours, and checked again.  Still stuck.

I know this symptom could be a sign of the rear flex hose swelling but wouldn't 
that also cause the right rear to hang up?  Any thoughts please?

Keith
