Difficulty Bleeding 1940 Brakes

[JSeery]

Yes Mike, the shoe problem is well known and there have be a number of post (with photos) showing the issue. Another on is the wheel cylinders that are miss-drilled.

These issues were pointed out in a prior thread of yours: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...=mike42&page=3

Post 37 & 41 point out the wheel cylinder issues and post 46 is about the brake shoe issue. For future reference, you would be way ahead of the game dealing with someone very knowledgeable in all of this, 3rd Gen parts (35fordtn).
