Seem to be having a problem with my right rear brake when braking harder than normal. It will lock up and the tire will skid if I have to brake fairly hard. Easy braking does not seem to have any problems. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance

Check the fluid in your master cylinder and if you are low the right rear wheel cylinder is probably leaking brake fluid and getting on your brake shoes. You can verify this by removing the wheel.

Thanks for the tip. Been a long time since tinkering w/ manual brakes. I will pull the wheel tomorrow morning and take a look.
