[FC] pulling to the left when braking 3....

[Ben's Bus]

Jim-

I have had brake pulling  problems in my Brier for a few years, too. Most 
recently the students at school took everything apart and one of the brake 
linings fell off! A new set of front brake linings and all is well. I think 
the mechanic who did this brake work three years ago used cheap parts.

My experience...

Ben

Have any of the brake shoes ever had fluid or grease on them?  Even if they 
are cleaned up they will cause this problem.
