Brakes pull on the Vette
64 with 4 wheel drums. All brakes are good with no leakage. Can't be rocket science,right? My tech says they need adjusted.

No it's not rocket science and adjusting the fronts would be where I would start. 64, may have self-adjusters, don't know when they started using them. Put it in reverse hit the gas then slam on the brakes, like lock them up. Try that several times first, if the adjuster's aren't frozen up that may do it. Otherwise try adjusting them.

The adjusters could be frozen, or it could have been driven very little and not backed up very often; I'd go over everything just to be sure and to have some peace of mind. Let us know, ok?

The only way to fix drum brakes is to remove them and install BIG discs.

Like has been said, start with the fronts (very slight drag when rotating wheel). Another thing that's critical is air pressure in tires. A low tire (even just a couple of pounds) will amplify when you hit the brakes and load the tire.
If its pulling to one side when you tap the brakes, first thing I'd check would be ball joints. If pedal is low then comes "up" with a pump, brake adjustment. Of course, I was out of HS when this thing was on the showroom floor new......... Last edited by dbradley; 09-17-2010 at 10:15 AM.
