Hi all,

I have a 1966 P1800S that's been sitting for a couple of years. The engine runs and it can move under its own power however the brakes seem a bit sticky. I have overhauled the master cylinder, and the front wheels turn freely. The rears are a bit reluctant to turn though and it appears to be worse in reverse. Any recomendations.

I am hoping to shift it from one lockup garage to the my recently built one adjacent to my house. There is no space to drive it out and give it a bit of a run.

Any recommendations for freeing up the rear wheels a bit. I was thinking of jacking the rear up on axel stands and running the engine a bit?

It been a while since I've got my spanners out, as they say!!, and don't fancy a full rear brake rebuild just yet.

I'm sure it'll all come back soon

Cheers

Stu
