Title: Scootacar front brakes
Post by: skootaloon on March 19, 2014, 07:56:26 PM
Hi All,

The front brakes on my Mk1 Scootacar feel a bit vague and the brake pedal feels particularly hard. I am wondering if the wheel cylinders have seized. I understand that the front hub needs to be removed by a puller of some sort to get access to the wheel cylinders. Is this specific to the Scootacar or can any puller be used. I know that the cylinders are Morris Minor rear cylinders with the handbrake lever modified. Are the front brake shoes from a Morris Minor as well.

All help very much appreciated.

Regards

Simon
