B250 Left wheel locking up in reverse

[romneyman]

Essexpete is correct, the brakes on the B250 are as he describes them and they are easy to check.
Disconnect the brake linkage and remove the brake housing, four or five bolts and you will find the two brake discs on a splined shaft with the expander between them.
The two halves of the expander are held together with springs and the balls are between the two halves.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Peter, are they dry?

[romneyman]

Hi Phil, yes they are dry and the left side is the easier one to strip, the right side has the diff lock passing through it.
Hope that helps.

Peter once again thanks for the advice. Do you know where I can download a service manual that includes the brakes?

Sorry I don't know where you could download a service manual from.
I guess you will have to get the spanners out and strip her down, when you get in there you will see what a simple system it is.
Let us know what you find in there.
Peter.

will do, i expect to see a component that had broken loose and is jamming the barake on in reverse - fingers crossed.

I will try to attach the service details for a 275 disc brake.
