Re: 1940 Brake Bleeding
Not a good plan! I am sure they are correct, "they" can not do the job with the drum attached to the hub, but that doesn't make it a good idea from your prospective. Need to find someone that has...

Re: 1940 Brake Bleeding
Once it pops, they are loose. It is the shoes that are hanging up now, and there may be a lip worn on the edge of the drum that doesn't help.

Re: 1940 Brake Bleeding
It is a fairly common practice to place several loops into the brake lines near the master cylinder to reduce stress on them. I add them on all of my installs. The way I bleed brakes (which I...

Re: 1940 Brake Bleeding
Sounds like progress, but something is still not correct. Bleeding brakes should not be that big a deal at all.

Re: 1940 Brake Bleeding
I've never had the pleasure of working with non-US brake parts, but from the post here on the Barn it appears they can have multiple issues.

Ok, I will modify my post. I have never attempted to bleed brakes without the drums on and the way I bleed them it would not work. I put a lot of pressure on the brake pedal, and thus the...
