JeffAxel is an unknown quantity at this point
it turns out that Cessna mounted the right brake master cylinder higher than the left one. If the seals in your parking brake (located by the pilot's left knee) are bad, the right master cylinder can drain into the left one leaving you with no right brake. If there is no apparent leaking by the right master cylinder, but a lot of 5606 below the left one, the fix is to replace the "o" rings in the parking brake manifold. If there is leaking apparent at the right master cylinder, then I would start there first. Resealing the parking brake manifold is what solved this problem for me when I had it a few years back..........
