Brake issue
I had an issue with my stock brakes on my 65 step and thought I would share.
I had a line go bad and while looking around noticed that the rear wheel cylinders had a little leakage. I replaced cylinders and brake line and bled system. The next day I start noticing that my brakes are hanging up like the e brake is on. The only way to get the drums off was to loosen the bleader screws on the rear. After lots of head scratching and crawling around under the truck I found the problem to be in the rear flex hose. From built up corrosion you could push the pedal hard enough to get fluid to the rear wheels but spring tension would not return it. I kept telling myself that it had to be something I did but couldn't find any issues. Just thought it was interesting. |
