Which size drums on 69 Dart? And some other brake questions.
Well, I've temporarily put on hold replacing the wheel cylinders, because I injured my ribs twisting around and lying on the concrete garage floor, during my five hour struggle to remove the rear left drum. I'm not exactly young anymore.
But in the meantime, what is the signficance of the color of the brake fluid in the rear bowl on the master cylinder (see photo)? The front bowl is clear, because I was adding fluid due to the rear cylinders leaking. But I bled all the lines a year ago and now the rear bowl is this dark amber color. Is that just due to moisture? Is that surprising after only a year? Or is it due to rust somewhere? Or something else?
