After purchasing my 61 Newport last February, I rebuilt the entire brake
system (Master Cylinder, all 6 wheel cylinders, new front shoes, and
replaced 1 front brake line). The brakes worked ok afterward, although the
pedal travel was a little more than I would like. Recently I discovered
that one of the rear wheel cylinders was leaking, so I replaced it with a
new one. Now, the front brakes seem to grab prematurly and lock up. Even
after the pedal is released, I can still feel some reistance from the front
end. The car never exhibited any of these symptoms prior to changing the
rear cylinder, and I have not touched anything on the front brakes. Any
thoughts or ideas?
