WAS:Rear Brakes LockingNOW:Brake Pedal Gets stiff in the rain

[ccarpen at earthlink.net (Cris Carpenter)]

I was just thinking earlier this morning that what was not clear in this 
discussion is the question of whether the calipers were moving freely, 
front or rear, in both the slides and the pistons. If the rears are the 
only ones free to move, they would obviously be the only ones working to 
stop the car, and the pedal would feel very firm.
