Pontiac Repair: drum brakes, 1972 pontiac lemans, drum brakes


Question
i have a 1972 pontiac lemans 2dr power 4 wheel drum brakes. when press the brake pedal i have no pressure building up at pedal. no fluid squirting out the bleeders at each wheel cylinder. installed a new master cylinder, brake booster, and blew out all the hard lines. but still no pedal pressure.

Answer
Hi Adam:
Start by doing this take the lines off at the master cylinder and get a bench bleed kit for it and bleed the master cylinder first. it is a set of fitting and hoses and bleed the air out of the master cylinder first. Then get a hand held vaccum pump bleeder and bleed the brakes one wheel at a time.start with the futhers away from the master cylinder then the next furthest etc.. you will be able to bleed the brakes by your self with one of those tools once you bleed the mater cylinder out. Good luck :0
