Re: No Rear Brakes with lots of troubleshooting need help!!

Thanx for all the comments. I may try to bleed the back again, although it seems to have pretty good stream when bleeding. I completely rebuilt the rear brakes 5000 miles ago and they look like they haven't been working at all. The shoes still look new. The combo valve is tripped and I can't get it to center, could that indicate a MC problem?

Are you saying that you cannot get fluid past the prop valve?

If the valve is tripped and you cannot center it, there may be a leak in the rear. If it is tripped, you can usually get fluid by if you pump the brakes very lightly.

Power bleeding as mentioned is a very good way to go.
