I've got manual drum brakes and after finding several brake leaks that
emptied and gunked up the master cylinder. Replaced all wheel cylinders,
flex lines and half the metal lines. Blew each line and master cylinder
clean with "Brake Klean". Bled the system starting at LR. Finally got
fluid to LR, but unfortunately the let the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder empty and got air back in the line. Kept bleeding at LR until no
more air bubbles came through. Continued to RR, RF and then LF until no
more air bubbles. Brake pedal was only firm towards the end of travel.
Went through the whole bleeding sequence again. Brake pedal got a little
better, but still travels half way before it starts to get firm.
I am thinking of getting another quart of brake fluid and go through the
whole bleed sequence again. Should the pedal be firm at the top, middle?
Thank you in advance,
