stopsy 2 Posted September 20, 2016 Any ideas out there before I start stripping things down. I pushed my 1600E about 10 feet forward to get to rear of garage, upon pushing it back it moved about 3 feet and locked up, I pushed it forward again with no problem but pushing back caused same problem. I jacked it up and spun both rear wheels, offside rotates both forward and backwards however nearside rotates forward but when rotating backwards it locks up. It feels mechanical almost as if its in gear or the prop is being impeded. Any ideas, its not the brakes binding as ive slackened them right off.

stevewes 16 Posted September 20, 2016 Even if you slackened the adjusters off, if you've got a broken spring or something seized then the trailing shoe could still be in contact with the drum and when the car is rolled backwards a trailing shoe becomes a leading shoe and will tend to lock on. You'll need to pull the drum off to see what's going on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
