Overhauled – Overhauling the Brakes on the 1952 MG YB
April 1, 2022
The 1952 MG YB in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop has come into our restoration team for a brake service.
Rob carefully took apart the brakes on the classic MG saloon to inspect all the shoes, seals, cylinders and hardware. Upon inspection of the front brakes, he discovered the wheel cylinders to be leaking and had soaked into the shoe material. So a new set of shoes and cylinders were installed into the front and adjusted out.
At the rear, the cylinders, shoes and hardware were all in good order and just required a rebuild and adjustment. After this, the brake system was bled ahead of it beginning road tests and adjustments if needed.
