I just took the TR3A out - it ran & stopped great. While pushing it back into place, I noticed it stopped quickly when I stopped pushing, and upon investigation when I got the front wheels off the ground there is an even amount of drag on each side. I can turn them by hand with a few pounds force, but they won't spin at all. I've also noticed a lot of brake dust on the front wheels in the past. It gets very few miles.
The car is a very early TR3A with the original style Girling patent calipers and residual pressure valve. When I restored the car several years ago, I took apart the valve, expecting crud, but it actually looked perfectly clean & functional inside so I just reassembled it and installed it.
So my question is, what do others experience? Or is it wise to remove the valve?
Thanks, Andy
