I drove thru about 6-8 inches of water at one point to get home. Very warm, and obviously tons of humidity. Got up the next day, moved my truck and hopped into the Square. Released the brake, let the clutch out and the back end started lifting up. Really scared me for a minute! Got out, made sure no cats (darn!) or blocks (didn't work on it, rained...) were behind the rear wheels. So, I got out a honkin crescent wrench and tapped on the drums a few times. Got back in, tried it again, and finally they popped loose. Quite loud, too. Sounded like something broke, but I tested the brakes on my street and they seemed fine. No probs since then. Now when it rains, I just leave it in gear and don't set the brake. -- Justin C-ya@tmgbbs.com http://tmgbbs.cö˜ Ê 95 CBR9 FeRRari red (now) w/ '93 bodywork '71 VW Squareback ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
