Check the metal brake pipes for rust or leaks.
As you will need to bleed the brakes, make sure the bleeder nipples are free and the holes are not clogged with dirt or rust.
Bleed the brakes in order, passenger rear, drivers rear, passenger front, drivers front.
Before you start bleeding, remove the brake fail warning switch from the valve block near the master cylinder...two pipes come out of the master cylinder and enter a metal block, with two pipes then going out to the front and rear brakes. The switch is in this block. It needs to be removed so the bypass valve is not tripped and held open by the switch pin.
Hope this helps...  |
Yes good stuff, thanks! I plan on cutting through old hose and using a deep well socket. 5/8" I believe? And I've had both ends soaking in penatrating oil.
