spent some time yesterday & today on the truck brakes. bench bled m/c & installed it with both ports plugged. had to adjust the length on the push rod between the m/c & booster. got that done & have about 3" pedal travel with a hard pedal both with the engine off & running. that's progress. hooked up the front brake line & tried to bleed the front brakes. found one bleeder screw was plugged. swapped that out & now still have a firm pedal with the engine off or running. that's major progress.
started to plumb the rear brake lines, but found I need one 12" length of brake line. I don't have one & my local parts house is out of stock.
so - time to call it a day & watch the Seahawks - Bengals game. GO HAWKS !!!
