Why - only one caliper works

[Shugalou]

Yeah I bet it's much more enjoyable when it works the way it's supposed to with the bleeder I can see doing it more regularly in the future now the that tools are all there.

I will be taking the drum off tonight and inspecting. If everything is intact I'll be replacing the drums - when I would turn by hand there was a sticking point so most likely they are warped. I have only driven the truck once (that was bringing it home) so every project is a discovery

Update - I took the truck out around the block yesterday and the brakes felt great I haven't tried to lock them up yet as there were people around but this will be my next test. It felt great to finally get the truck out and test it.

I still need to lift the rear and test that the back brakes are grabbing but from the small test run I did everything felt really good

Thanks everyone for their help and encouragement on this one.
