Thanks nkaminar , the brakes can actually get Stuck on . I’ve had Thai happen with guya on tour and they hit a big bump and then their brakes get stuck on . I’ve removed rhe rod, straighten in a curb bumper with a hammer and reinstall and torque and Cant outward the brake rod return springs to push the rods outward …. Problem solved ! Except if you have later shocks as I stated it will happen again . Thanks nk!
