Brake fault

[odd_sommer@hotmail.com]

My Y61 has a fault on the rear brakes. the brakes nearly dont work. could it be the load sensing valve?

Check the drum brake pads, springs, and actuators. If the springs are broken or the pads are stuck, the brakes will be weak or not work.

I think there is a pic in the manual that shows the arm in a roughly 90 deg position, they do get a lot of crap on them and rarely lubricated so maybe the mechanical mechanism is seized. The internals can also freeze up, there is a kit you can buy as they are absolute poison to buy new. Also if you have installed a lift there is a lit to lengthen the mounting bolt position to correct the action.
