[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 628493, member: 13810"] I’ll join in just for fun and say ‘ Change them damned flexis!! :msn4: They frequently fail internally before there’s any external visual evidence. This was most likely the cause of locking your rear brake on as its allowed the pressure to reach your cylinder / shoes but the collapsed section in the hose acts like a one way valve and dosent allow the pressure to release instantly. It will eventually drop pressure but at quite a slow rate. Once you’ve changed them, do an auto topsy <<<( look a new word ) on the pipe just to prove to yourself how this can work. Then you’ll be 100% confident in your brake repairs and that’s great for peace of mind :mrgreen: Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,guess who’s home bored to tears :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
