Hello Friends,
   I have found the source of my MGB's brake failure.
   A look at the brake drum gave the first clue.  It
had a buildup of brake fluid and dirt on the exterior
http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0668.JPG .  The hub was
also overly greasy
http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0669.JPG , which may have
have nothing to do with the brake failure.  The brake
fluid was all over everything
http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0665.JPG including the
leaking cylinder http://www.aubard.us/MGB/HPIM0666.JPG
.
   All of this changes the plans.  I will now rebuild
the rear brakes on both sides.  I'll rebuild the
cylinders and install new shoes.  The drums are both
undamaged.

Regards,

rick
