:=:=i finaly rebuilt my 9 in brakes, new springs/dpads/drums, and the frount ones bled fine, but the back wont drip a drop of brake fluid and the pedals firm.
:=......................................... :=Remove the bleeding screws and clean out the holes in the screws. If no fluid comes out of the cylinders, you need to replace the wheel cylinders, there blocked with sludge. The screws have a small hole on the bevel surface that connects to the hollow center. :=:= forogt to mention the wheele cylinders were replaced also ................................. Ok, next crack open the line at the rear junction block. Under pressure, does fluid come out? If not, work your way back to the master cylinder thru the pressure differential block to find the blockage. If the master cylinder is quite old it may be gunked up and spreading it around. Or take the rear line ( front port on the master) apart at the master and the lines at the rear wheels and blow it all out with compressed air. The distribution block could be stuck off center and cutting off the fluid to the rear line also. Good luck |
