My relatively new (6 hrs) RV-12 seems to pull to the left quite a bit during taxiing.
First, I thought it was weathervaning from the wind until I realized it was always in the same direction.
Then I thought the left brake pad was catching, but I can roll that wheel by hand no problem. The brake assembly has a little play and I can see daylight between the disk and the pads.
Then I thought one of the brake cylinders wasn't free to rotate where it's attached to the pedal, causing it to maybe stick occasionally in the engaged position, so I loosened the bolts there by one or two castellations.
I'm running out of ideas. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
