>My TR6 has developed a problem in which it has a tendency to pull to the
right
slightly when first applying the brake relatively hard, but not when
applying
gently. After hard application, and holding pressure on the pedal, the
car
straightens out, but after releasing the pedal, the car feels like it
squirms
back to the left. I have adjusted the rear brakes, and rebled the
system,
but the problem continues. Any ideas? Your response is greatly
appreciated
in advance

Mike, this is the classic symptom of bad brake hoses. The ID of the hose
becomes restrictive and the brake on that side is slow to apply and
release. I have encountered this on two of my cars and new hoses resolved
it both times.
I have also encounted this on two different clutches.
