I forgot to mention that applying the handbrake gives nearly the same braking power left and right MOT pass
Tomorrow I’ll put the car on a brige so I can inspect the brakelines Hans From: susanandmartin Sent: Monday, September 12, 2022 7:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Quantum Owners] Left Rear brake problem Is it also a similar percentage reduced (compared to Right side) when the parking brake (hand brake) is applied without footbrake?

Maybe one is stuck. Jim From: Hans Defauwes Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2022 6:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Quantum Owners] Left Rear brake problem Dear All, My left rear brake has much less braking power than right MOT failure 0.2 vs 0.8 Replaced brake drums (right had cracks on brake surface) Replaced brake shoes Bleeded the rear brakes Both cylinder are less than 2 years ago replaced (17,5mm) incl. the copper rear axle brakeline (outside diamater 5mm) Took the left brakeshoes off and tested the cylinder – it is not stuck. moves freely in and out – by slightly pushing the brake pedal and by hand, no leak. Put a bit of grease on the ratched mechanism Slightly sanded the left bakeshoe, decrease it with brake cleaner, roughed the inside of the brake drum (60 grid) Any sugestions?
