Default Re: Need help with brakes

Check the pins on other brakes, some time you have to grind and polish some of the pins to get them to run smooth. When it was restored, often times the pins were now on a different wheel. Some are repop pins that need some adjusting. I polished mine with 2000 grit, then buffed them out until they worked smooth. If you want really nice brakes consider Flathead Teds www.flatheadted.com . I put them on mine, and I can lock up all 4 wheels. Dramatic improvement.
