brAKEs

Post by jguajardotx »

Just replaced all 4 drums and pads on my 67. After bleeding them 3 work just fine but front passanger side is being stubborn and wont brake. It gave 1 good shot of fluid when I first bleed it then nothing after that just litte bit of fluid came out after with no pressure. Any ideas before I take brake hose off tomorrow? :hmm:

take the bleeder out and clean it. it has a blockage in it. or in the brake line leading to that wheel.

Same thought. I'd check the hose first and make sure the lining hadn't swelled shut. Or in truth, I hardly ever check them any more. I just replace them.

I had the same problem once and the wheel cylinder itself had a clog in it that would not let the fluid though.
