brakes pulling

[Walt W.]

My 67 L71 pulls to the left and squeels when brakes are applied. Pads look OK.
Car has J56 option w/dual pin calipers. Please share any thoughts on fixing.

Thanks, Walt Weems

Re: brakes pulling

Check your right front brake hose for kink or blockage. They eventually swell up internally and act as a one way valve.

Re: brakes pulling

Sounds like the right front rubber brake hose is defective and acting as a check valve. NAPA has them.

Hi Walt

I had that happen to me on a cavalier and it turned out to be a stuck caliper on one side.It never retracted and stayed against the rotor.So when I applied the brakes, that side grabbed first and pulled the car to one side. I took the caliper and pulled back on the rubber around the pistons and cleaned it real good.After compressing the pistons and putting it back together, it worked fine. The dirt that got in between the piston and rubber stopped it from retracting.

Hope this helps you...........John
