Doesn't the brake pedal adjustment dictate how far to adjust the plunger rod?

Thank You
Yes.

Well...I have all front shoes, W/C, M/C, all new lines and ready to bleed to remove air.

To adjust the M/C how do I know how far out to extend the rod for the piston in the M/C?

athawk11...that is the first one I picked on Youtube and it played 4 1/2 minutes and stopped.  Maybe it will play through this time.

This video was helpful for me.  I choose this one because he used the same double flare tool I have.  

He does a pretty good job of describing the process. It's not difficult to do.  It is critical to file the cut smooth as he describes.

Does anyone know of a link to show DBL flaring a brake line?

I bought 3/16" line and my old looks like a 1/4".

Also the Hub seal in one Brake Hub is leaking...the Seal # is CR 21101.  Is it suppose to be flush with the outer edge of the inside of the drum...not sunk down in?

I looked and found out that on the 11" shoes, the long shoe always faces forward.

If anyone has a comment, please poat it.

Thanks.

On the front brakes, does the long shoe face the front or rear?

Thanks

Bob...they must have.  Today I picked up two (2) lengths of the,"WORKABLE," steel brake line, 40" lengths. One section for the pumkin

line and the other for the M/C to Tee on front axle tube.

Haven't bent any line in a while!

I should be prettty good by the time I finish the back lines!

Bob...Thank you for the post....my set up is like that except the hard line from the M/C has a Hose part of the way. �The hose attaches to the tee.

Sounds like they used the original axle mounted tee fitting and hose. Ideally the tee fitting would be 3/16" inverted flare on all 3 sides so metal line would fit and there would be no need for a hose.

Will it matter that I'm using Silcone Brake Fluid with the line as far as which line they find? �

The fluid type will not matter when selecting lines.

So, just take the two (2) lines in and have them match them up.  Sounds simple enough.

Often times when converting to 11" brakes the front line/hose arrangement is modified. Originally there was a single hose going to the axle, then a tee, with hard lines running along the axle to 2 hoses (one to each wheel). The modified version has the hard line from the master cylinder going to a tee, then 2 lines running along the frame to each side above the axle, then a hose on each side going directly to each wheel cylinder.

Most NAPA stores, and any other auto parts store, should stock 3/16" preformed brake lines in various lengths.

Hello to all....I reduced my picture size to 134 and still couldn't attach them.  I can't tell you how many times I've written a post and tryed to load

pictures only to have them not show up in the preview or post.

Situation:  I'm unable to get the front pumkin brake line from Walcks.  It runs from the front brake junction block to the Passenger front tire.

                Also, the brake line that runs fron the M/C to the front junction block via a rubber hose line.

I wont need the S loops because of longer front brake hoses recommended by Carl Walck.

I haven't flared or DBL flared any steel brake line in years and what I was flaring, probably wouldn't be called a flare by most of you.

Where can I get the two (2) Lines I need?  The person I usually deal with at Napa wasn't in and the person I did deal with, WASN'T IN EITHER.

(No Disrespect intended)

Dod,


When you add those special font [size=24]sizes[/size] and [size=36]colors[/size] in the reply box where you type, it will only show the enclosed brackets and the numbers.

When you have finished your post [size=18]highlight[/size] the word or phrase you want to change, choose the font size or colors and the brackets will show up around your highlighted words. Now, hit the [size=48]preview[/size] button below. Scroll back up, and you will see how your post will look, once you actually post. When you are done [size=20]previewing[/size], hit [size=22]post[/size] and all will be what you hope it to be. ;)
