The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Front Brakes not bleeding.

The rear bank of the master cylinder had to be filled several times while bleeding. The front bank never needed more fluid as nothing was coming out at the wheel cylinders.

The shoes are adjusted close on all 4 wheels. The MC Linkage was never adjusted, but I don't believe that is the issue, as the MC bleeding works fine, and the plugged ports cause plenty of pressure.

Reading online, there is alot of articles that list lines being higher than the master cylinder is a no no, due to bubbles getting stuck. I think this is the issue. Can anyone confirm this as a bad thing or the possible cause of this problem?


Also I have read about Residual valves 10lbs are needed on these lines. Not sure if that is part of the master cylinder or not. Will have to call Classic tomorrow for that piece.


Will likely be replacing the lines again, as I don't like the job I did on them anyhow. Any one have a diagram/layout of how they routed there brake lines when they switched to dual MC??
