Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 front brake lockup
Hello all,
I've had a bit of problem with the brakes locking this season. After it ha=
ppened the second time, I pulled the vacuum line form the servo and plugged=
it. I put a few hundred miles on the car with the vacuum line off the ser=
vo, and the brakes have worked great.
This morning, I backed out the driveway, and I noticed the car wouldn't rol=
l downhill. I pulled it back into the garage, and jacked it up to see wher=
e the wheels were locking.
The rear wheels turned freely, slight drag on the right rear.
By hand, the front wheels would not turn at all. Neither one.
Does unplugging vacuum from the servo completely remove the servo from the =
equation? Could a servo without vacuum still cause locking problems? I b=
elieve my servo is a Lockheed unit, put on by the PO, and the servo doesn't=
look that old.
The front calipers are recent rebuilds (2 years ago). Anything else that =
could cause the front brakes to lock up?
thanks!
Tom=
