Brake Hoses Deteriorate On The Inside And This Restricts The Brake Fluid From Returning To The Master Cylinder Which Causes It To Keep The Caliper From Releasing From The Rotor Like It Should. If You Are Sure It Is The Brake Hose Change It. It Should Solve The Problem. But From I Kinda` See Here You Would Or Should Have Had This Changed Already Only For This Problem To Began Anew. If This Is The Case, I Would Think You Have A Problem In Your ABS Brake System. Have The Codes Ran On Your Truck And See If This Shows Up To Be The ABS System Good Luck

Can you adjust the rear drum brakes on a 1999 Saturn LS?
Yes, of course you can adjust the rear drum brakes. They should be self adjusting. Every time you back up and apply the brakes they should adjust themselves. If that is not working, look for a small rubber plug on the back of the backing plate. Remove that plug and with a brake adjustment tool, you can adjust the brakes. Search Google for the proper procedure to adjust drum brakes.
What could be wrong with the car when you hear a screeching sound from the back?

How often should you replace your brakes?
Check your brakes every 6 months to see what type of wear and tear is happening. Of course if you hear a metal grinding or feel a shimmy in the front end have them checked at that time. Newer cars have sensors that indicate when brakes are bad. I usually have my brakes checked when I have my tires changed, about once a year. Depending on the amount of driving you do this could vary. Brakes have a 'squeal' factor to them, also. If you hear a high pitched squeal when you step on the brakes, it is an indicator that they should be checked and probably replaced. Dealerships check the brakes at the same time they do tuneups. Next time you take the car in, ask for a list of the items they check at the tune up times. Most check every 15,000 miles, or about once a year.

The brakes will not work correctly!From there it depends on in what way it failed.Failure can:Cause the rear brakes to not work at allCause the rear brakes to lock uncontrollablyCause the brake fluid to leak out.And if its just sticky cause a nasty combination of the above.My Renault Fuego had to have the bloody poorly designed valve repaired about every six months. It shut off the rear brakes when it failed.
