Help:air in front brake lines
Hi guys, Try to make this quick....1970 Chevy LWB pick-up. Still has original front drums. Initial problem: front right brake hanging up causing wheel to heat up/pulling to right. I've replaced master cylinder, front wheel cylinders, front brake hoses, front brake shoes, spring kit, both self adjusters. I'm now battling an endless supply of air into front brake line system. No matter how much I bleed them (pump,pump,pump, push brake pedal down, loosen bleeder, squirt, brake pedal goes to floor, tighten bleeder) I keep getting "milky' brake fluid (air laden) out. When I bleed the rears milky fluid came out at first but then cleared right up and brake pedal stiffened right up. When I bleed fronts...nothing but milky fluid and pedal goes spongy again! What on earth could be wrong? Same fluid used in both front and back...no apparent leaks in lines...One thing that does bother me is that I remember a little copper washer in the past that went between front brake hoses and wheel cylinder...I did not get these with either new parts...but still no leaks there at all...Any feedback surely is appreciated..This truck is wearing my patience as I've been working on this problem since I bought it in late MAY...Thanks guys, Bob
