I bled the brakes this morning. Solid fluid coming out but just out of
couriosity, I tried to gravity bleed the front left. No fluid flow. (The rubber
lines are new.) >>
ISTR that the 65 and earlier cars used 2 wheel cylinders in the front drum
brake system (2 on each side). You know like the early bus uses, but with
different wheel cylinders. Where are the early guys when you need them? :O If this
is how they are set up, then he might have either a bad wheel cylinder, or the
feed line (connector line) inside the drum partly plugged with crap, not
allowing fluid to pass out easily.
