My 76 914 has been off the road for a couple of years, but I finally got it registered and started driving it again. But one of the barkes appears to be dragging a little, I'm not sure yet if its just one or both, I *think* its the rears but I'm not sure yet until later today I am gonna jack it up and check it out. I was just wondering if this is something common that happens and where I should look first to figure out what the problem is.

...it'll come out a helluva lot easier than with an open ended wrench.

not picking on you, but an open-end wrench is never the right tool for this job. use the proper flare nut wrench and you'll have far fewer rounded fittings. i got my set at Sears about 30 years ago and they're still going strong.

except for the aluminum Bonney wrenches i use on AN fittings, i use the flare wrenches for virtually every nonferrous fastener.
