and the fluid is coming out from the inside of the drum?
did you replace the wheel cyl's or rebuild them?
how did you adjust the rears? commin misstake is to not adjust the rears up enuf.it makes the peddle og down and could make the rears blow out too.
when are you planning to pull the drum? to see what's up.when you do, post up pics and especially one of the drum. is there a "wear lip" on the edge of the drum? and did you adjust the starwheel after installing the drum or while installing the drum? i know a lot of people slide the drum on and off while adjusting, and if the drum has a lip, it won't be right. works good if you install new drums, though.
OKTHE DRUMS ARE PERFECT WITH NO GROOVES OR LIPS!!!I know you guys are trying to help but you guys seem to be missing that I had a good pedal BUT NO BRAKING POWER at all. It feels as if they are wet, thats what it seems likes. YES I CLEANED THE BRAKES. The fronts have probably 90% on them and also the rotors on them are good and not covered in grease. Im not worried about the pedal, im worried about how the DRIVER SIDE REAR wheel cylinder has gone out twice. I dont get that. Im also worried that I have good pedal but not very good braking. I do not understand these issues
1) When you take the drum off, would it be possible to take a pic and post it? 2) P.S. aren't there two drum sizes for toy rear axles?
I still had good pressure without even having to pump it but i had great pressure if i pumped it once. I just could not stop at all.
OK I fixed it. Pretty much a spring came undone on the rear driver side and when i hit the brakes the wheel cyl came all the way out and bye bye brake fluid.Got that fixed and have great pedal now BUT the only thing wrong now is it jsut doesnt stop as well as i thought it did before. Maybe it is, maybe it isnt, I dont totally remember, but it just doesnt seem as good. I dont even know...
Cool, now you just need to drive it a bit for the new stuff to seat and it should start to work like you remember unless it feels totally unsafe then check into it some more.
I don't know what the differences are, but are you still using the MC from the cressida? if so, that may be changing the "feel" of the pedal pressure. same amount of pedal pressure = less wheel pressure? anybody know what i mean who can explain it better?
Yes I am but it should be more pressure considering its a 1/8" bigger diameter bore then stock. I think its just back to normal and im just trying to stop 37's and thats probably why. I only thought my truck stopped better before, it probably didnt.
I can, but am not going to, run the tires that were on before, they were 31s haha.
That'll make 'em feel different... Well, cool, Sounds like you may have this licked, huh?
