Well, things are kinda slow here today. Snow and wind so not much else to do. Thought I might throw this brake problem out.
Last year we replaced the master cylendar as we arrived in Az. with no brakes. One of the rear lines was cracked so we cut it and re flared. Before I left Mo. I tried to check the brake fluid level. Could not get the lid off so I forgot all about it. Not good.
Half way across Tx, no brakes. The toad brake even broke. Roadmaster has replaced it already and gave me 860.00 credit toward their newest system. Will be eyeballing it at Quartzsite.
Anyway, I was able to pry the lid off the M/C. No fluid in front tank. Filled it up, still no brakes so through El Paso again this year, 10 wheels, 2 brakes.
Teri and I tried to bleed rear brakes. Fluid just barely trickles out when she applies brakes.
Now, and thanks to Rob M. for discussing this with me on the telephone, I am thinking I have air in the M/C. When the weather breaks I will try to bleed the front tank.
I hate drum brakes. Even plan to replace the Vdub brakes with discs when we get home.
So, this is where I am. Hoping I can just get enough brake to get me down the GLobe/Superior hill. If not, I will head to Quartzsite through Tucson and over 8 and up.
