Re: Axle and brake help

Well... Got an update for everyone..... Found "the leak". BOTH the brand new wheel cylinders were leaking, but also holding the fluid inside the outer rubber gaskets *rolls eyes*I've never seen that before, much less heard of it happening. When I vacuum bled the system it was pulling air past the pistons and seals, but wouldn't build enough pressure to push brake fluid past the outer seal into the brake/drum area. So Napa is replacing both wheel cylinders in the morning (of course I get to do the labor and all new seals on my full float axle *facepalm*.... Thx for the help everyone, hopefully this will fix it, gonna do Speedi-sleeves on the spindles while I'm at it. 👍
