Rear brake bias problems - Viper front calipers with rear drums

If the front brakes have air,, it could help prevent them applying properly..

Here's a quick test to see if there's any air left in either system..

-with the exception that,- if the rear brakes are outta adjustment,, the return springs can cause a fluid return from the rears..

setting the emergency can help if you can't adjust the rears..

brake fluid is excellent paint remover,, so don't splash any on your paint.. immed rinse with water if you do..

hope it helps... grant
