brake question
ok heres the thing, i have to push the brake pedel all the way to the floor to get it to slow down, feels kinda like i have no brake pressure or something, and when i do push the brake pedel it always pulls to the right, so what could be the problem(s).

Time to pull the brake drums and do an inspection. You either have a drake on the right grabbing or a brake on the left not grabbing. And you will most likely find a wheel cylinder leaking, too.

I would look for a leaky wheel cylinder. Check the master cylinder and see if one of the resevoirs . If rear is low check your rear wheels for the leak or vice versa.
If it's not low on fluid, I would say your shoes are way out of adjustment, but since mine did the same thing, I'll almost bet you lost a wheel cylinderthough

Also if it is a wheel cylinder you need to redo both sides at the same time,and it's a lot cheaper to buy a kit that you can rebuild the cylinder's with than it is to buy a new cylinder.
And be sure and bleed the brakes when your done.

check the price for a new one compared to the kit you might find for a few doolars more you can have a whole new wheel cylinder and not have to hone it or anything. around town here i think it was between 10 and 15 for a new one rather than a kit at 7 or 8.

it was none of the above, come to find out when i pulled the wheel the brake drum broke in half(no pics sorry) and plus both brake pads on both sides were bad but after i put a new drum on it worked finer than a frog hair.
