[Syty] Brake lockup<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Today nothing special happened when I drove my Syclone to
lunch. When I was leaving my parking space at work to go home for the
evening, it sort of felt as if I had backed into a curb, even though I was
still a good six feet away. As I pulled forward, the brakes were very
twitchy, and the right rear wheel screeched the tire at the slightest
application of brake pedal, even when I drove just a few feet. I believe
what I felt was some extra brake resistance.<BR><BR>I hadn't set the parking
brake today, but for good measure, I applied and released it a few
times. It didn't make a difference. I tested the brakes a few more
times in the parking lot, and the wheel locked up every time.<BR><BR>Finally I
decided to try it at speed. I pulled out of the lot and got going around
30 mph and lightly tested the brakes. They seemed to have returned to
normal. I drove the rest of the way home without further
incident.<BR><BR>I suppose it couldn't hurt to inspect and bleed the brakes
and purge the old fluid this weekend. Any other
suggestions?<BR><BR>Jay<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
