I have bleed & bleed the brakes both front & rear, they still will not hold the pedal up they work after pumping 3-4 times. I'm thinking the adjustment is just too far-out. I have adjusted the fronts but no luck on the rears! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 25 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 25 | I do have a hydro vac... it is new (rebuilt by qualified rebuilder ?).

My rear backing plate(s) have two adjusting screws (bolts)on each side, each side of the truck, not each side of backing plate. Do you use each (both) equally? | | |
