Brake bleeding question?
Not on the truck, but the Bel Air. I'm having difficulty bleeding the brakes on the Bel Air (as always) For some reason they are not my forte'. They worked perfectly before My exhaust burned a hole in the rear brake hose. I replaced it and also painted the master cylinder while I was at it. Well I got it all back together and nothing leaks, however I can't seem to get the rear passenger side to bleed (drum). The front seem to bleed okay (discs) and the driverside rear seems to bleed okay. I have used my mityvac hand vacuum and my wife pushing brake pedal both, neither seem to be working on the passenger rear. When I have my wife put the car in reverse (off the ground) with her foot on the brakes and the parking brake on, the back tires still spin. The rear drums were adjusted correctly before the hose blow out. The parking brake won't stop the rear wheels at idle in reverse and the foot brake won't stop the rear wheels either. I have adjusted the rear drums to a point where they are hard to turn by hand when the car is in neutral and the p- brake is off. wit heth p-brake on I can't turn the rears by hand at all. Any ideas? I hate doing brake bleeding!! I just can't seem to get it right for some reason.
