Re: [T3] Brake Bleeding - Soft Brake Issue

[Ben <ben@givingclothes.com>]

<x-flowed>Thanks for the tips.

I think I just need to adjust my rear brakes...I haven;t gotten  
around to jacking up the car to do this, but I found if I pull a  
couple of clicks up on my e-brake I can get it so I don't have to  
pump the brake.   So, I'm assuming this mean my brake pads are too  
far away from the drum.

Thanks
