Brakes pull on the Vette
 

64 with 4 wheel drums. All brakes are good with no leakage. Can't be rocket science,right? My tech says they need adjusted.

No it's not rocket science and adjusting the fronts would be where I would start. 64, may have self-adjusters, don't know when they started using them. Put it in reverse hit the gas then slam on the brakes, like lock them up. Try that several times first, if the adjuster's aren't frozen up that may do it. Otherwise try adjusting them.

Did you get the spinners off ?

Yes,how stupid was that?

Trust your tech, thats why they make the big bucks .... although it could actually be a fluid contaminated shoe.

The adjusters could be frozen, or it could have been driven very little and not backed up very often; I'd go over everything just to be sure and to have some peace of mind. Let us know, ok?

Gary, have your tech perform a thorough inspection of the entire braking system. Whatever the problem is, if he is any good, he'll find it.

He did and every thing checked out. All 4 wheels good and dry,no seals leaking etc. Hopefully just need adjusted.

He is a pup at 38.:eek:

Borne in "72 .... those argyle socks I wear to weddings and funerals ( not necessarily in the order) are that old!

The only way to fix drum brakes is to remove them and install BIG discs. ;)

Not all rims can be re-used with drum-to-disc changes ... clearance problems.

So Gary where is the picture of you driving the car with a big grin as wide as PA? I would say Texas but I don't want go get sued.:worthless:

Like has been said, start with the fronts (very slight drag when rotating wheel). Another thing that's critical is air pressure in tires. A low tire (even just a couple of pounds) will amplify when you hit the brakes and load the tire.

If its pulling to one side when you tap the brakes, first thing I'd check would be ball joints. If pedal is low then comes "up" with a pump, brake adjustment.

Of course, I was out of HS when this thing was on the showroom floor new.........
