Brake Problems need real time help (2 Viewers)

[SHERMAN FJ62]

My Fj62 is being difficult replaced some broken brake lines but now I cant get my brakes working again. Everything was working fine before the brake line replacement took place.

Anyone up to helping me fix my brakes for some beer or whisky?

PM if you can help

Any help is good I will call you. I just want to

Clayton, spoke with you this morning about the master cylinder, I can get you the AISIN Master cylinder for the 62 way less than the dealer list of $256.00. call me in the morning if interested and i'll give you a firm price.

I am thinking it got to be the master since it goes from being a firm pedel to soft when you turn it on. I am going to have another eye on the truck but my current master cylinder has rust on it and looks old as hell Thanks again for the help I will call you tormorrow

Just a stupid (maybe) question, but have you bled the Master cylinder?

 

[SHERMAN FJ62]

Ya but ithink my master being old and rusty it has gone bad when system was open

Clayton, can you drive it (safely) over to Mt. Pleasant?

Maybe in the middle of the night or early sunday morning. I played around with the rear brakes and got them tighter and I have rebleed the system. Ran out of time tonight but it seems like I may be getting some where with getting the brakes back.

I know I am making some progress because before I started tonight I would have my wife full on the brakes and I could turn the wheels by the end of the evening I could no longer turn them by hand.
