My back brakes are rubbing bad. It got to where it would hardly roll just by pushing it. I bled them a few time and it eased up a little but not much at all. What should I do? Could something be wrong with my master cylinder? Thanks, Anthony

Oh yea, anybody know how much some used elkas would run me??

First off chit can the stock lever and perch..and to fix your rear brakes you need to pull the rear brake caliper off and tear it apart and clean it thoroughly..it's jammed up with crud I betcha..;)

Take your Foot Off the Pedal. That helps me somtimes...:D

Just Kidding. Take off your caliper and get all that crud and junk outta there. They get pretty messy in there.
