Landing gear - overload
Analysis
The plt reported that the landing was normal, & as he applied brakes the right brake failed. He intentionally applied hard left brake to negotiate a ground-loop to avoid trees at the end of the rwy. Disassembly of the right master brake cylinder revealed that one of the o-rings was broken in two pieces.
