I thought it might be a proportioning valve or something but never found out for sure because its nothing but a black painted frame right now. once i get an engine and some brakes on it, ill start troubleshooting it. probably broke something like maybe the mechanism that adjusts the pads when you apply the brakes while rolling backwards. i do find it odd tho that both our problems were the same wheel(s)

i took apart the rears
all springs look good
pads are about 1/2 inch thick(good)
seals look good
i think booth rears are locking now
i adjusted the self adjusters out manually
both rears and the fronts
maybe the fronts arn't working correctly?
but when i first started
the problem was just right rear
