Unhappy Brake problems...

MY NEIGHBOR HAS A 68-GMC THAT HE HIS WORKING ON FOR A CUSTOMER, AND IT HAS NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS ALL THE WAY AROUND, NO LEAKS, BUT HE HAS WENT THROUGH 6 MASTER CYLINDERS, NEW FROM THE PARTS HOUSE, BENCH BLED THEM ALL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, AND I HELPED HIM BLEED THEM AFTER THEY WERE PUT ON. STILL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR ONCE BLED. WE FIGURE THE MASTER CYLINDER IS ALL IT CAN BE, BUT GETTING 6 BAD ONES? WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK ON THIS FROM YOU GUYS.

THANKS,

SHORTBED HARDHEAD..HOUSTON

Re: Brake problems...

Are you getting good fluid at each corner with no air in the lines?
Are the shoes adjusted out enough?

Re: Brake problems...
