Re: 71 Blue Jay
Well after two days of rear drum brake hell I have it all back together but still the same weak braking. I'm sure there is either air in the lines somewhere that didn't bleed out or the master cylinder is shot. I do need to check the vacuum line to the power brake booster. I mean it only sat for 25 years in a field...
Also, after I finally got everything attached I noticed the two different shoe pad sizes. Somehow I managed to get a short and long pad set on each side, but didn't get the short pad towards the front & long pad towards the back. Yep, got it backwards, accidentally, on each side... (Or I think it's backwards, from what I have searched on here.) The old pads were so worn down I couldn't tell the sizes to know which should go where anyways.
Look at all the rusty gunk in these pictures... (drivers side first)
