brake pedal issues
My brake pedal in my 73 E with a 2.4 has just started to not return all the way to the top maybe short by an inch.I can feel the brakes drag slightly, when I pull it out with my foot every thing frees up. I put a new master cylinder in last fall and have a very hard pedal,I have lubed the pedal cluster with no results. Do you think its time for a pedal cluster rebuild,Or could there be some air in the brakes or master cylinder.
Thanks Tom |

more on the sticking brake pedal
When the master cly goes bad, many times it leaks on the pedal cluster. If yours is the same as my 77, the bushings are plastic or rubber and they swell from the brake fluid. When they swell the pedals start to stick a few weeks or months later. Put the bronze bushing kit in. It is not a big job to do. I am sure there are many postings on pelican with the details.

I changed the calipers up front, and rebuilt the pedal assembly but have the same sticking problem. the car sits for months at a time and appears to be rusty. Any ideas?
