rear brakes keep siezing?

Hey Y'all,

ive a 91 bronco. Replaced the rear brakes 3 times in the last two months. Initially thought I'd set them up wrong then gave it to a garage for the last re-fit.

Replaced, shoes, hardware, flexi, wheel cylinders, brake pipes and master cylinder.

and its still does. Rear Anti lock light comes on most of the time also. Mechanic said he couldn't see any sign of abs fitted to the rears?

Anyclues greatly appreciated.

you will also have a rear abs sensor on top of the rear diff. pull this out and clean it up good. if its not hooked up this could also be part of your problem

If your mechanic couldn't figure out that your truck has rear ABS, then you need a new mechanic.

And yes, it's the ABS valve. Bypass it with a piece of brake line for best results.
