Guys: Some time ago, 3 or 4 months, someone had a problem with dragging brakes, can’t remember the type RV. His fix was to put long bolts through the pedal brackets because he thought the pedals might be binding. I have the same problem now, I think. Question to whoever posted this: Did it work and if it did, how long were the bolts. Thanks, Dan

This was more for preventing the small bolts from twisting cockeyed and wearing the holes & hardware, although there are many many RVs flying with them. If using either configuration, make sure the nuts are NOT tight- the pedals should be able to freely pivot without sticking.
Dragging brakes are usually from weak return springs inside the cylinders, and many have added external coil springs around the cylinder rods to add more extension force (I did) and it stopped my dragging brake problem. It is a good idea to add a flanged bushing on the bottom of the spring, with the OD of the bushing inside the spring and the flange nested on top of the cylinder to prevent the spring from scoring the rod- I used small plastic flanged bushings, probably from McMaster.com, but it's been a while...
