Darn, and I thought that brake controller was a pretty slick work-around! Still well worth remembering. I was aware of the brake hose issue but until your explanation I didn't quire understand what the issue was. I was a service writer at a small shop for a few years and our mechanic refused to replace a caliper that had locked up unless he could also replace the hose. I don't recall seeing this happen with drums but I can well imagine a case study like this being in the old "Model Garage" series in Popular Science.
