Brake bleeding
Hey all, I am getting my high tech four drum power drum brakes back in order, and I just got through bleeding out what I thought was all the air pockets.
With the truck not running I pumped and bled out each wheel, in the process the manual says too. Things were coming along great, got good pedal and thought this was too easy. Until I fired up the engine, and then pressed down on the brake pedal. Just as I expected, the pedal went straight to the floor. It did not come back up, and only has about an inch worth of travel. It's dark out now, and my lighting isn't all that great. So I will pick this up tomorow. Just wondering should I do this while there is vacuum to the booster? Or do I just start the process all over again then repeat, then run the engine to see if the pedal normalizes in it's travel and resistance? Fogive the basic question, it's just been years since I did this. Plus I am all by myself, in the past I had a buddy pump the brakes while I cracked the wheel cylinder bleed valve. Right now I am using a jar and rubber hose to catch all the dirty fluids. Gracias amigo's
