Ok, I do need some help! Hard to admit.
I have been working on may brakes for a month or two. I have replaced the
wheel cylinders and shoes on the rear, the master cylinder and installed
rebuilt calipers from TRF. Now I have replaced the fluid with DOT 5
(silicon): However, I can't seem to get the brakes bleed.
I am using the miti vac tool, starting at the right rear, then left rear,
right front, right front. I most cases I am getting 50 lbs of vacuum before
I open the bleed screw. I then close the screw and rebuild the vacuum.
Initially I didn't see any fluid making it down to the wheel, now I do, but
still lots of air. I asked my wife Jane to work the pedal and tried the old
fashion way and get the same results.
Am I not being patient enough? I can't see the pwda as an issue; although, I
didn't remove or rebuild it.
I do remember doing my clutch hydraulics and after a good period I could
feel the system "firm up." I have more that than nothing because when I do
press the pedal the shoes/calipers expand.
Any comments are appreciated.
