Matthias, Maybe look to the back and see if something is wrong there? gary Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:35:32 -0800 From: Matthias Kuster <matthiaskuster@VERIZON.NET> Subject: bleeding bloody brakes Hi list, I am looking to get some input on my brakes for a 1984 Westy: I have replaced front calipers, rear slave cylinders, installed new pads in the front and left the old shoes in the back (plenty of meat on them). I have also replaced the master cylinder and reservoir. I have checked whether the servo holds vacuum-yes it does, as well as the line into the engine bay. have replaced one way valve as well. The rear adjustment nut is turned until the wheel does not spin freely anymore, off the ground, then backed off. I have done this multiple times also.
