welcome to the 'bolt!!

is it just grabby? or does it stay locked up?

check the adjustment, clean it up real good with brake cleaner and check that the hub is round.


Another quality post.

Took it apart today, in fact a couple of times and cleaned up pads and drum, put it together and adjusted brakes. I drove it and seems to be workig ok now. I kind of think it was more of adjustment problem. Anyways thanks to all. sj
