90 Chev 1/2 ton brake question
90 K1500 4x4 10" rear brakes.
(the leading/trailing style with the adjuster at the top) replaced the rear axle seals yesterday (leaking bad bad bad) and the rear shoes. Brakes were working before - just crappily because of all the grease on them. Now... the brake light is on, and the pedal pretty much goes to the floor - not quite as soft as if there was air in there, but pretty darn soft. It would appear BOTH rear wheel cylinders are seeping. The only thing I did as far as the hydraulics was to push the pistons back into the cylinders so we could get the new shoes on. Is it possible that there was a bit of corrosion in there that caused my leak? And/or is it likely I did something wrong with the self adjusters and the leak is actually just seepage from doing that and it's not really a leak? I tried bleeding the rear brakes and they seem fine. The truck has rear wheel abs. I'm going to replace the wheel cylinders because I'm assuming they're fubared, but I'm wondering if there's some other trick/something I did wrong. Also, the park brake cable is currently not connected - the whole thing was rusted solid so we pulled it all out and I'll be getting new cables. The park brake switch was disconnected. Ray |
