Brake BLEEDING-nightmare!
Hello Fellow Mopar /Allpar devotees, motorheads.
Doing the Brakes on my Crusty 84 RELIANT 2.2 , I replaced the Pads & shoes -on this 4 lug rim Antique.
I figured all I needed was frictional components, and some proper brake bleeding.
Turns out ,my Brake light still came on.
I replaced the Master Cylinder w/ a Reman from Auotzone , Had the Transfer(pry off) the old Resivoir to the "new " master Cylinder.
Had trouble cracking the Bleeder nuts , so I used a Liberal Amount of P.B. Blaster /Liquid wrench on them ,after Using a M.A.P. gas torch , and daubing some candle wax on the hot Nuts. Was able to free them up.
I did the old Fashioned 2-person Bleeding Technique w/a Soda bottle of Brake fluid ,Rubber(silicone) hose & Bleeder wrench.
I started in the Diagonal Fashion , Right rear Wheel Bleeder - Left Front Bleeder , Left Rear Bleeder- Right Front Bleeder.
My results were Bleeding works on the Right Rear -Left Front( PLENTY OF AIR BUBBLES) , but ,But ,But on other side , NO air bubbles .
What the Heck is going on?????? this is the most frustrating Brake job on a K_CAR I ever did!!!!!!!
Either I am losing my touch ,or there is some defective component somewhere???
This makes me want to sell this thing for ScrAp$$$$$$$.
regards , stu
