I recently replaced a bad wheel bearing on the rear right wheel. The job went well thanks to a post on how to do it in this web site. The problem I am now having is that the brake is dragging. I loosened the parking brake linkage without any l luck. I also did the test to find out if the problem could be with the brake line, and it is not the problem. No matter what I have tried to do, the brake is always dragging. I compare the left side with the right and can find no difference. I am sure I put everything back the way it was before. I am thinking it is the brake cylinder possibly. I have had the car for 20 years, and had never changed it. The brake fluid was extemely dirty and I flushed it out and put new fluid in. I drove it for 30 miles the other day, and I could feel the hub cap was warm to the touch. I don't want to drive it until I solve the problem. Any help well be appreciated.

How long has it been since the rubber brake lines were replaced? They tend to swell inward, choking off the fluid in the wheel cylinder. My 67 230 did that.

I have never changed out the rubber brake lines. The problem only started after I took everything apart to change the bearing. I am thinking that maybe I didn't put something back properly.
