Sounds like you have air in the right line somewhere. I would bleed it first and then check for stuck puck(s).

If all is well there, drain and replace the 5606 hydraulic fluid.? I have worked on 1 plane that needed to have the hydraulic changed in the brakes every 10 years or so.? It would degrade and turn a to a dark brown.? Brakes also didn't work very well until the fluid was replaced when it looked like that. -Jeff Scott -----Original message----- Subject: KR> Cleveland brake question Hey Guys, I have had a developing issue with the right brake. It has continually been degrading in its effectiveness. There is plenty of pressure at the pedal but is not working well. The left brake can just about spin me around if I hold it. The right brake I have to just about stand on to get a little right turn. There is no spongy or soft feeling and the fluids are full. I have not taken the wheel off yet to check the pads and i do have new pads that I can install. It just seems like it something else like maybe the caliper hanging up???? Any suggestions before I tear into it. I am working on the annual so I am ready for OSH. But I would like to be able to stay on the runway this year....
