    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    That’s what’s so weird about this- the pedal travel is reduced but the brakes are super weak. They wont even come close to locking up. I tried a couple of times to slam it and it would barely come to a slow stop. I’ll try adjusting the pads again but I feel like the problem is in the MC...

    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    What did the pedal feel like before you had them bled properly? My pedal travels about half the distance that it used to and it’s like it hits a wall and wont go down any further no matter how much pressure I put on it. My mechanic neighbor said that sounds like a booster issue. Did you...

    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    Ok so this is interesting. I did not bleed the front brakes. I just assumed that because they operate from a separate reservoir and because they are disc (makes no sense now that I think about it) that I just needed to bleed the brakes I was working on. The fluid in the front reservoir on the...

    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    The axle swap was done previously and has been working fine for years but was done in a shop, so I’m not familiar with the details on what they did. When replacing the wheel cylinders and bleeding all I did with the master was to refill It according to coolerman’s instructions. Is there more...

    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    Ok so I got everything back together & bled. However, I noticed when I was bleeding the brake pedal was not going down as far as it did before. It’s as if it’s hitting a wall. Took it out for a quick test drive and it “stops” but the brakes are very weak. Even applying a ton of force doesn’t...

    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    Ha! Yes, very good insurance. It’s a 72 but I did power steering and Axel swap so it’s got disc’s in the front, drums in the rear.

    Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder replacement

    I have a rear brake cylinder leaking and decided to go ahead and replace all 4 along with springs and new pads. Got everything from SOR & had the drums turned. I poked around and found lots of threads on the master cylinder but nothing comprehensive on replacing the wheel cylinders, bleeding...

    '72 Gas Tank Plumbing

    Okay, thanks. So are people adding aftermarket charcoal filters to their rigs with this same setup? If so, is there any info out there on it?

    So if I put the fuel separator unit back in and hook up the hoses correctly, does that have a charcoal filter built in or do I need to add one? Thanks!

    '72 Gas Tank Plumbing

    I completely agree and that's why I'm so confused. I've come to learn that both the new and old caps are vented, however it's my understanding that a vented cap only lets air in, not out? So I could still be building pressure in the tank with just a vented cap? Also, I've made sure the...

    '72 Gas Tank Plumbing

    So my set up is -8 coming out of the tank, going straight down through the body to a pre-filter. Then to the fuel pump, then to the fuel filter. In my effort to figure this out, I was rerouting and simplifying the plumbing to the pump the other day. The minute I undid the fuel line going in...

    Ok, I've been on the forum for two years now and this is the first time I haven't found what I'm looking for and I've had to post. Hopefully I'm not being redundant! Also, sorry for the long-winded post but I want to be as detailed as possible. My FJ40 is a 9/71 production date. It's got...

    Howdy, I'm new to the forum so forgive me if this isn't the right way to go about this but I am looking to do a DB conversion and I was wondering if you still had the front Axle parts. Thanks
