No rear brakes.
« on: April 09, 2008, 11:18:01 PM »
ok so I have no rear brakes. the rears are drums. iv got new shoes and drums. they are adjusted correctly. and they have been bled. when i press the pedal there is no pressure until the pedal is about 2 inches from the floor then there's a little pressure. im starting to think it might be my master cylinder but im not quite sure.

thanks for your replys.

sounds like you have either air in the system or a bad M/C.  check your lines to the rear WELL...all the way down the frame.  make sure you don't have a leak or a crimped spot.  you might not be getting enough fluid to the rear to do the deed...

If everything is as you say, replace the M/C. Make sure you bench bleed it first!
