mekemelorry Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 failed a WOF today for rear brakes not working properly, C33 laurel, rear disc brake with separate handbrake Put it on the rollers, they are working, but not very well. Brake pads about halfish worn. The master cylinder has been changed within last 6 months, previous melted from engine fire. Re bled rear brakes and got no change. Could it be wrong master cylinder? Maybe new brake pads might improve them? any ideas before i start spending money Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 What does not working properly mean? Imbalanced or just not enough clamping/stopping force? Take the pads out and give them a scuff on the concrete, put them back in and do a nice long run with some decent braking, they should come up after a while. They can do it on the rollers too but it depends how friendly/useful they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
