An update on the stupid brakes I haven't gotten around to
I got around to it. Completely separate from the parking brake push
bar thing that fell off the front shoe, I still needed to take the
brakes off to replace the parking brake cable. Through just sliding a
shoe down and pulling a lot I was able to get the shoes off. I compared
them to the new ones I had bought and they are still pretty thick. When
I checked the brake cylinder one of them was sticking out a bit. when I
pushed it in it leaked brake fluid and then pushed itself back out part
way. Lifting up the boot revealed even more brake fluid. So I guess I
need to replace the brake cylinders. Should I assume that when I replace
one cylinder I should replace the one in the other drum as well?
My new problem will be putting everything back together with those
stupid springs. That and procrastination.
