Having studied the brake fix with the springs and bolts, I found that the brakes on my 6a has a longer push rod which has springs on them. I have a pulling left problem intermittenly so when taxiing back the other day I pulled off my belt and reached down and made sure the brakes were fully retracted, but still has slicht pull to left. I assume the caliper is not fully retracting and wondered if anyone had experienced this and if so how to fix. Charlie Heathco

Charles,
I guess the obvious thing to check is - are the brake calipers sliding
freely on the two guide pins ?
If not, make sure there is no crud on the pins, and give 'em a squirt of
silicon spray, making sure none gets on the brake disc or pads.
Also, make sure that the brake line is not restricting full movement of the
caliper on the guides.
If it is not either of these, then maybe the brake piston is sticking in the
caliper and not retracting. In this case it could again be crud, or
corrosion or possibly the piston is cocked in the bore.
Easy enough to check.
Cheers
