98 breeze rear brakes don't release
I just did a brake job on my sons 98 Plymouth breeze. When I pressure up the system the rear brakes don't release. I've done the brakes b4 and never had a problem. With the drums off I can't even push the cylinders back together. They don't release until I crack the bleeder. What's going on? Thanks

I'm sure you have figured this out by now, could you let me know what is going on as I have the same problem. I have posted a similar topic in this forum.

Re: 98 breeze rear brakes don't release
r3emove your brake shoes and inspect the shoe pads on the backing plate ,you may find a line running thru the pad the shoe may be sticking or hanging up in this line , this is what happened on my daughter 98 breese
remove the backing plate weld up the pad area and grind it down flat again this is a common problem with the breeze i went to a junk yard to get a different backing plate and that one was bad also |

Re: 98 breeze rear brakes don't release
The problem ended up being the short brake line between the rear brakes and the connection mounted on the frame. It's about a foot long, rubber with metal ends. It was suggested that in all the moving around a small piee of crap got loose and blocked the fluid from going back. I replaced it and problem solved. Thanks
