I have a stock 1950 Mercury. my problem started a couple of days ago. After driving a few minutes the right front brake starts to drag and the drum gets hot. after the car sits and cools down the drag is gone. Today the brake completely locked and the car wouldn't move. I had a brain storm and I got under the car and opened the bleed valve on that brake cylinder and once a little fluid seeped out the brake retracted and I was able to go home. What can cause this to happen on only one wheel?
1958 Austin a35 hard break pedal for but no breaks
1961 VW bus, no power ANYTHING. Master cylinder, all wheel cylinders, shoes all replaced. Braking is working normally, except, in an emergency situation, quickly stomping on the brake results in almost no pedal travel at all, and no braking at all. If l remove my foot from the pedal, and press again calmly, brakes operate normally again. Please help if you can, as this is quite scary and very dangerous. Thank you.

There is no weight. If you remove the lighter one, the other one is still heavier. It's not the weight that makes it the heavier. The reason why the light one is lighter is because it has less weight. It's actually the weight of the air. It has less weight than the other one. So, that's why the light one is lighter.
