Rear Brakes
« on: May 08, 2019, 10:54:38 AM »
1991 K5; First time really putting through some paces, and it seems the rear brake wants to lock up. It is squealing going into turns and slides more than I'd like it to. Stock brakes, pads good. I know there will be a bunch that wants to replace or redesign the brake setup, but does anyone know of any tricks or hints how to help this situation with what I've got to work with?

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
