    I never have rebuilt one of these c-brakes. I
    Hopefully maybe just some orings. I know the solenoids are fine. It almost seems like the brake doesn't release properly. I get popping sounds like the valve is still open when trying to make compression, but does go away. The brake effeciency is weaker also. Time to learn something new. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
