Another "brake help" thread...
So I spent some time yesterday going back through the brakes. I got into the drums and disconnected the parking brake cable since it’s not connected to the pedal anyway, just eliminate that potential issue. While in there, I cleaned the pads on the backing plate and lubed them up. Cass suggested I replace the hardline from the C/V to the drivers front flex line because it was oriented wrong so I built a new line. I then started bleeding again, but this time I had the dash light to make sure the C/V didn’t somehow trip, and I watched that closely. After all the bleeding, the brake system is now better than it has ever been. I can only assume I did something wrong before which threw off the C/V and created further problems. I do still have a bit of a rear brake sticking issue, but it’s not consistent so I’m not sure what that’s about. Maybe I put another set of springs in the rear. I need to clean the wheels up to verify (with brake dust) to make sure the fronts are actually working but I can say it’s a night and day difference. I really dislike these type of fixes because I can’t point to one specific thing that causes the issue but I’m happy with what I have for now. Thanks for all the help everyone, especially
