Re: Rear brake N/Side
Have you got all the air out, not left a clamp on a hose?
Usual rear disk issue is the other way a round!
If the new piston is old stock, check it isn't seized up and strip down lube & re-assemble.If that doesn't work, examine both drums for contamination ovality & wear, then try swooping them around.

Re: Rear brake N/Side
Changed wheel cylinder to day for another new one and wheel now locking up. Stripped the one from the car and did find one of the pistons semi siezed annoying, parts came from Dingbro so I wouldn't have thought they would have been on shelf for too long.Just goes to show you can't always discount new parts when problem solving.
