Hello all! I have a brake problem on my 1964 Notch. Some days ago I noticed that the right rear wheel was a bit hot. I jacked up the car N¡½right rear wheel could be turned by hand, but only with great difficulty. Conclusion: the brake rubbed. At this point I took a break for about a hour and when I returned, the wheel had cooled and could easily be turned by hand, with only a low sound telling that the brake still rubbed. I then thought that the brake didn't release properly, but with a helper in the car pressing the brake pedal, I realised that when the pedal was released the brake was also. Since then I have tried to adjust the brake the way the owners manual tells, but with no difference. As a summary I have: Cold brakes: A _very_ slight rubbing, that can be heard but not felt. Warm brakes (5 km driving): The right rear brake rubs and the wheel can only be turned with difficulty. I would be very grateful for any idea of what I should do now.
