My 8 has been flying for 2 years. Recently the left brake began dragging. When I replaced the pads I noticed that the fluid level was low so I attempted to refill the system using the bottom up method via the BRAKE BLEEDER ASSEMBLY. I was surprised to discover that the system will not take fluid from the bottom up ! However fluid flows readily down the system when the bleeder nut is opened. It occurres to me that this may be at the root of the initial brake trouble......Fluid is being somehow trapped between the master cylinder and the brakes assembly and holding a small amount of pressure on the brake at all times. Has anyone else had this problem? Cure?
