Hey everyone i know there are countless drum brake threads i had pretty much read them all. I have an fj45 Troop carrier drum brakes all around 2 wheel cylinders per wheel. The front brakes are working fine. the rear brake however the wheel cylinders do not move at all when i push the brake. They get fluid to them and bleed with no dramas though. I have taken the wheel cylinders out of the right wheel, took them apart and cleaned them both (one was a bit siezed on one side but i cleaned it no worries) Put them back together, installed them with the drums, profusely bled them. Still no movement at all. What else can i do?
Let's see; pump fluid out, cap sucks in. Obstructed vent in cap? Can't be, it's a new MC.sounds like you have air in your master or the upper brake lines.
not sure why the reservoir cap is sucking in. that shouldn’t happen.
Ive been doing it with the cap on. I wish i could provide some photos buy my phone broke on me the other dayLet's see; pump fluid out, cap sucks in. Obstructed vent in cap? Can't be, it's a new MC.
When you bleed the brakes, is the cap on or off? Most likely off to replenish the reservoir level. In other words, "vented".
