Sticky brake pedal

Post by bmdfiat76 »

Good morning. We have a 1976 Fiat Spider. The brake pedal continues to stick down after depressing the brakes and you have to manually pull it back up with your toe. My husband has lubed the mechanical parts of the pedal but still no change. Any ideas?

Is the return spring installed? It attaches to the pin that links the pedal with the booster's fork.
