I have a 2004 Honda Goldwing Lehman Monarch (not the Monarch ll) I just changed my rear brake shoes, springs, star wheel adjuster and wheel cylinders. I also bled all the brake lines (front & rear) with new speed bleeders. This is the second time I changed the rears since new in 2004 and had no issues.
After adjusting the brakes giving them some drag, I took a test ride. The left side grabbed and locked up easily upon applying the brake pedal in a usual fashion. I then proceeded several stop/go procedures to see if it would get better....didn't help. I re-adjusted the brake shoes after about 20 miles in which it's not (knock on wood) pulling to the left now upon applying the brakes.
Unfortunately, both are now grabbing (locking up) when depressing the rear brake in a normal way. If I ease into it while braking I can manage it not to lock up as bad. I'd like to add, I have good pedal but, it's now very touchy causing this grab. The brakes shoes are fully disengaging when released. I'm about to remove everything and start over.....
What a P.I.A. due to just changing out my rear tire to new. I always take pic's and double check my install therefore, I can't believe I re-assembled anything wrong. If anyone has any idea what to chase down, I would sincerely appreciae it. Thank You. Ray :help: (Headbang)
