Over the winter I overhauled the front brakes on my 1935 Ruby. I replaced the bearings, seals, brake linings and cable swivel assembly and the linings were shamphered.
So far over about 60 miles everything was fine and she stopped in a straight line.
Now on the last 50 mile run yesterday she's started pulling to the left and having a quick look by putting the hand brake on one ratchet at a time the left wheel starts dragging before the right wheel (front of the car jacked up and wheels spun by hand) Tyre pressures are all OK.
I've also removed the drums and checked the linings rivets etc. and it all look fine and I've also blown out any dust.
So How do I balance the front brakes??
