On going rear brake problems...

[dodgestang]

So I got sometime today when the kids where napping and now in the evening with them getting baths and then off to bed.....

You may recall from this post that I had some problems:

So today I double checked all my brackets and no interference.
I mounted brand new calipers that I picked up.

Bled everything using the super secret single man bleeding without speed bleeders techniques handed down from the forum gods.

And the result.....well here is a video....the drag 'feels' a little less....but obviously its the same drag sound I have always had.

I have not changed anything else yet so it is still SVO disc/disc MC, stock 65 distro block, SSBC rear prop valve.

One other thing to point out....without the brakes mounted....I have almost no effort in either forward or reverse spinning the axles and no harmonic/hum sound like you can hear in the video that I attributed to a possible gear setup issue.

Did you try what Dan (Chock) said on VMF? With everything assembled and the drag is present, try cracking the bleeder. If it frees up, its a pressure problem. You could have a brake hose stating to fail. If it is a pressure problem, I would pinpoint it by loosening the brake line from back to front to determine where the its holding pressure.

Sounds like a way to eliminate some possibilities.
