Monday: Passenger side rear brake wheel cylinder was installed, brake parts reassembled drum and wheel installed. I will have Kristen help me bleed the brakes.
The drivers side rear has no evidence of leaking brake fluid, however it would not be surprising to see that begin. It would be best to replace that wheel cylinder too but I don't have one right now. Still I sprayed the bolts and brake line there to get them ready to take apart. Could not get brake line fitting loose. Will let it soak a long time.
The truck has been raised up on three wheels over the weekend so I lowered the rear then removed the jackstands at the front. It now looks normal.
I tried to start it up but it wouldn't fire up. The battery got weak so I took it inside to charge up.
Spent a few hours on it this day.
On tuesday, Kristen helped bleed the brakes but the fluid and air didn't flow like I think it should. I don't know why. It was pretty cold so I stopped for the day.
Only after using starting fluid did it start. Need to get it to start better. Kristen drove it in a small loop. The brakes barely work. Now what?
