Today I got to drive around essentially without brakes. For some reason they are pulling extremely hard to the right when the last time I drove it everything was fine.But by taking it easy and gearing down I was able to limp home.
Those would be good spares. they are on the eventually list for now
In case you are wondering about this:
There was a slow leak in the brake cylinder. The fluid was contained by the rubber boots for the first few drives but now the rubber boots on the cylinder are full of fluid and it's leaking out. It drips onto the hub which drips right onto the drum at the bottom. Apparently oil on the drums or shoes causes the brake to lock up hard. As it's only the passenger front thats doing this the Jeep pulls dangerously hard to the right. Got a new cylinder in the workshop![]()
