Well, you guy were all correct. my cylinders were not actuating because they were stuck. I did rebuild them but it had been sitting a while that they got stuck. They were also leaking. I bought two new cylinders and I am replacing them but I am having some trouble installing the brake shoes. These are Huck brakes, not sure how they are different from the Bendix but I always struggle to get the single spring on the shoes. It seems the only way is to place the sharp end of the spring pliers onto the shoe lining. I have been chewing up the brake lining to have something for the pliers to grab onto. Is this correct or am I using the tool incorrectly?
