: I JUST FINISHED PUTTING NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE HOSES, BRAKE LINES, AND BRAKES ON MY '41 WC- SERIES- I HAVE BEEN BLEEDING THEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW AND THE BEST I CAN GET IS THE BRAKES TO JUST START GRABBING WHEN THE PEDAL IS ABOUT 1" OFF THE FLOOR- THE BRAKE SHOES ARE ADJUSTED OUT TOT THE DRUM- WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Jim,
It sounds like your brake shoes haven't been
adjusted properly.Ive been in the same situation
with my WM300,it can turn into a two man job.
If this doesn't work try using a power bleeder.
Good Luck
Chris
