Rear brakes gone on '71.
My son called me last night to let me know the brakes were acting funny and had previously told me they weren't working very well (long stopping distance). I told him it is an old, heavy truck and he should drive accordingly. Last night he found the rear reservoir "bone dry". He was also in a sharing mood a few days ago and told me about locking up the brakes when he almost ran a red light. That could have blown out just about anything in the system but I don't remember seeing any new leaks on the driveway.
I only have Saturday to work on it. I plan to: 1. Inspect the rear brake hose. 2. Inspect each wheel cylinder. 3. Inspect the MC and add fluid/bleed. I know I could have multiple problems. Anything else to look out for? I'd really like to get it done Saturday. |
