Subject:Rear Brakes
From:Robert Clemmer <n51219@COMCAST.NET>

Ok,  so I replaced both rear brake cylinders, bled both front and rear.
Have a nice solid pedal.  Only problem is now it doesn't feel like the rear
brakes are doing their fair share.  In 15 minutes of local traffic, the
front brakes heat up to the point the wheels feel hot while the rears are
luke warm at best.  Fronts are not dragging.  Going to the UP of Michigan in
two weeks and the car will be heavy.  They need to be right.

Car is a 91 2.1 automatic with 258k.  Any suggestions or comments.  I don't
want to replace parts just for the sake of it.

Thanks,

Bob Clemmer
