Rear Brakes locking up
 

About a year ago I had a cylinder replaced on the right hand rear brakes, and every now and then since the brakes lock up quite badly.
Have had it looked at 4 times and every time I am told that they cannot find anything wrong with them, so what gives......I am at a loss, its quite dangerous and driving me to distraction.
Any ideas guys?

sounds like the brake proportioning valve may be sticking, if they havnt already drained and changed ALL the brake fluid try that but my GUESS would be brake proportioning valve. :?:
Good oportunity for a rear disk conversion$$$$$

Er...........
 

OK, so where is it and what does it do?
Sorry, scuse the blonde ignorance.

not easy to check such things yourself even more so if it is a intermittant prob like yours seems to be.
others here may have better suggestions.
best option probly to price a new one and if not to exy $$ change out see if prob goes away
does it lock up then release or just lock , do you know if the brake place has tried anything or just "had a look"

They just lock up and then release, worse when its wet, very intermittent, I dont think that anyone has tried anything, even Billabong told me they had no idea......So I dunno.
I will have it checked out now I have some idea of what it may be.
Thanks!!!
