rear brakes dragging

[doitover]

I've had a problem with my rear brakes sticking on.

Is it possible to replace the rear inner flex lines without dropping the rear
crossmember?

I replaced the calipers, which worked for about a month and then siezed to the point of melting the rubber seals on the caliper. I then replaced those calipers,
the master cylinder and the outer flex lines. It hasn't locked since then but after about a week of driving and can feel them dragging. That is how it began before they locked up the last time so I suspect I didn't solve the problem.

From what I've read, the next thing to do is to replace the inner flex lines. At that point most people replace all of the hard lines and drop the rear suspension to do it. It looks like the hard lines on mine are in good shape.

Thanks,

It is possible to replace the lines over the subframe without dropping the subframe.

Lee at Massive Brakes has recommended cutting the old hoses and using a rachet/extension/socket combination to remove the "hidden" hose ends. That's only a sketchy recollection of his technique, so you'd be well-advised to contact him for details.

The last email I used for Lee:

I did mine when the subframe was out for bushings, so I haven't tried Lee's method.
