       Front Brake sticky

       My 109 is developing a sticky driver side brake. If I apply the
       break at low speed the wheel locks and unless I wait 10 or so
       seconds, I have to give it a good push with the loud pedal for
       it to free up.
       If I'm doing anything above about 5mph it behaves fine until it
       dips to around 5mph when it tried to lock up again.
       Anyone had this before?
       If so, what was the problem?
       Thanks,
       Dan

       I would take the drum off and check the springs on the shoes.
       Could also be sticky pistons in the slave cylinders. Have you
       recently replaced the shoes? Leading edges may need chamfered.

       I've not replaced the shoes yet. I'll break out the cheat sheet
       and have a look at the weekend and let you know how it goes.
