Classic/Antique Car Repair: 61 Chevy C10 truck, hydraulic brake system w/ clutch, chevy c10, hydraulic brake system
Questionquestion regarding '61 Chevy C10 truck, hydraulic brake system w/ clutch:
I replaced the brakes, wheel cylinder (both left & right), and rubber hose on the front of my '61 Chevy C10 truck. I've bled the brakes and can not get any pressure. I cleaned the master cylinder and got pressure back in the clutch, but can not get the pressure in the brakes. I can not find any leaks and now after bleeding there is not much fluid coming out of the rear left.
***The reason I replaced the front brakes is 'cause the front left side was leaking fluid.
AnswerMike;
Look for any leaks, than if all is god keep the master cyld. full at all times first bleed the l/r brakes than check the fluid fill if needeed than do the r/r brake than fill the mast. cyld. than do the r/f than fill mast. cyld than l/f than fill mast cyld and bleed the mast cyld. too. it might take a few times you opened the system so all of the air got to come out, it will work, take your time. if you have a tank bleer thats even better.
