Just get new cylinders. Try to get the ATE's. Thye have the proper spring which pushes the end cups out against the shoes. This helps prevents having to push the pedal twice to keep it high.

The brakes are getting a little spongy so I'm going to flush and change. I want to fix the rear slaves. Should I get a kit and hone and be done, or should I just buy new. I've rebuilt slave once before ('63 Corvair - No Flames Please :) with good success. Who's been there before? -Phil 89 Westy |
