oook.....Drums dont work after gear swap
yes i bled them.....15 times......i took the lines loose at the drums....nailed the brakes, fluied shot 15 feet.....no blockage....
if i pump the brakes a good 6 times hard they finally work....but ...if you nail them once...nothing happens....the pistons in the drums wont move.....unless i pump the bejesus outta the brakes....any ideas??
this happened when i finished up putting my rear on.....im not a brake pro.... help!
this happens o nboth drums....it isnt just one..

pfft brakes are over rated anyway.. who needs em.. I had a honda beater that needed a master cylinder for about 6 months that I just didnt feel like wastin money on.. all ya need is a 5 speed and a parking brake really.. doesnt exactly stop on a dime but it makes driving so much more intresting.. my favorite way to slow that piece down quick was to throw it in first gear at any speed and use the friction material on the clutch disc as my brake...
