<VV> Question on brakes pulling to the left

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Randy,  
How many times in the past 12 years has the fluid been  changed/flushed?  
What kind of fluid is installed?  As Matt says, you  may have only one bad 
cylinder--on the right front, but if you haven't already  pulled the drums to 
inspect the cylinders you can't rule out seepage or broken  hardware within 
the drums.  Best of luck finding it before it gets too  cold.

I have been having a problem with my 1962 Monza Coupe's brakes.   It  pulls 
to the left no matter what I have done on adjusting the  brakes.  It  will 
also lock up the right rear brake on hard  braking.  

I completely rebuilt the brakes (wheel cylinders, hoses,  brake shoes plus  
turned drums about 12 years ago).  At that time  it would brake fine.  
Any thoughts on this?  Any suggestions will  be appreciated.

Thanks,
John R. "Randy"  Vidrine

1   Front...  pulls to the left......  sticky WHEEL CYLINDER on the RIGHT  
[  almost always the opposite side!]




2   REAR.....   Left front works so well compared to right front... it  
unloads the Right rear under hard braking...




This is assuming  ALL  4  brakes pass Visual inspection...no broken 
springs,  etc..
