I have had a problem on my C210 and need some guidance.
Problem: When taxiing the toe brakes are responsive to light pressure. When I am in flight for a few minutes the right toe brake is ineffective until I depress (pump) the toe brake a time or two...at which time it firms right up.
I discovered this a few weeks ago when I was landing at our airport. I landed and while on the landing roll I applied pressure to the toe brakes and only one brake was effective, with the other ineffective until I pumped it.
The mechanics have examined the brake system and found nothing wrong, but they took the time to bleed the brakes (from the wheel up). Again, the brakes were effective with normal toe pressure but when I took off and flew back to my home base I found that when I lowered the gear and tested the brakes the one brake was really soft.
What is going on???
