Hi,
My rear brakes (drums) aren't working correctly on my 91 Explorer Sport. It seems as if all my braking is being done by the front discs. I just removed the drums and the pad hardly look used. I did carefully step on the brake pedal with the drums off and saw that the wheel cylinders are opening so the brakes should work, but they don't seem to be.
I am going to replace the pads (even if they look okay) and have the drums turned before putting things back together. Is it possible that the master cylinder or some valve in the system is not sending enough pressure to the rear brakes?
Any tips or ideas on what to check would be a great help.
Thanks,
Chris
PS... The vehicle is stock with no modifications.
PSS.. I did pull the rear anti-lock fuse to see if this helped any and it did not.
