Hey Jim: I am assuming you installed the master cylinder from Skyport. I would check the movement (full through) of the cylinder. It may be binding slightly near the top of its movement. By reducing the total movement (adjusting the length of the cylinder) to reduce the amount of movement. The master cylinder will do its job just fine with less movement, and allow all the pressure to be released. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 8/15/2009 5:05:47 A.M.

We installed a new master cylinder, blead the brakes , which are Clevelands, and have more brakes than we can remember.
Problem is - forward movement is fine and no dragging. But after a flight when we try to push it back into the hangar it is almost impossible to move. Seems brakes are not releasing after stopping. We removed the discs, greased the pistons and still hve the same problem. But after sitting for awhile they release and are OK. We also adjusted the cable in the plane to give additonal freedom. Any suggestions ? Jim N3439H FDK ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
