Sell the POS and buy a real car.
There are 2 rubber seals on each end of the wheel cylinders and there leaking. REPLACE THE WHEEL CYLINDERS.
Sticking rear wheel cylinders. More than likely moisture in the brake fluid has caused them to rust. Replace the rear wheel cylinders and replace the brake fluid.
Remove wheels Remove drums (Make sure parking brake is released Loosen and remove brake lines Remove mounting bolts Slide wheel cylinder out (may have to separate brake shoes slightly) Re-install new cylinders and Bleed new cylinders
It cost me $268 to do the cylinders on both wheels at Pep Boys :-(
ONLY cast-iron brake cylinders can be honed!
Rear brake cylinders or calibers are corroded and need to be replaced. Also drain the replace all brake fluid.
There is no specified time to replace the brake fluid of any vehicle, as long as you keep it topped up. Brake fluid does not 'wear out'. I have replaced the entire brake fluid on only a few occasions, and always only because I have been replacing seals or brake cylinders and it made sense to replace fluid then, before bleeding the system.
That depends on whether you need wheel cylinders. Just for brake shoes and installation, around $150, twice that if you need cylinders.
Rear calibers or wheel cylinders are sticking. This is most often due to brake fluid that is contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause internal parts to rust. Replace the rear calibers/wheel cylinders and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. It can also be a defective proportioning valve.
you have to take off the hubs and you need crazy hard to find tools
sometimes just touching the brake pedal a hair works on my 99 escalade works
