bob duffer Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Is there anyone here in Michigan that is around the 48035 area code that is knowledgeable about 34 Buick's that might want to come over and help me with a few brake issues.Or know of a classic car shop in the area .

bob duffer Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Mike, My brakes seem to be binding up , something seems to be holding the car,it doesn't seem to move freely. I know there is a brake control valve and brake power cylinder .I don't want to go taking things apart when i'm not familiar with it. I can start by taking the wheels off and seeing what i can see wrong in there.Maybe things just need to be oiled or greased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLYER15015 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Bob,Where are you in Mich ?Do you have a "mechanic's hand book" ? If not, get one before you start tearing stuff apart. (thanks Jolly John, from Mike.).There may be someone close enough, with info on your car, that can stop by.In any case, send a PM to OCM. If he can't help you, he may be able to point you in the right direction.Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
