brake issues on a 64 1/2

[hotrodredneck]

ok, well it's been a while, and I just got the car temp registered yesterday. Pulled the drums off, and sure enough, no grease...backing plates had no grooves though.

So, when I went to bleed them, I went to the pass rear first...opened the bleeeder, and it was a PITA to get fluid to come out....same on the drivers side rear...Brakes are engaging though.

If I took the the proportioning block out and blew air thru it, to make sure no gunk is in there, will it be ok? I mean, are there any valves, or ball bearings that would get screwed up?


another question. I have a spare Master cyl....if I take the lid off that one and set it up to push air in, could that help clean out the brake lines?


any experience here?

well went to the craft shop today and decided to do a brake fluid flush....glad I did, the stuff in te MS looked like crap!!!....plus I found a safty seal from an old bottle of brake fluid in there....go figure....

well after all was said and done, I replace both front brake hoses, and found the MS was leaking onside the car...replaced that and now the brakes feel great
