Howdy there. After investigating my brake system rather thoroughly, Ihave found that in addition to a bunch of other things, the pedal is indeed not returning to its proper position. HAving sprayed the rusty spring liberally with PB Blaster, and still not bettering things, I wonder what else I can do? I did, however, replace one rear cylinder, and rebuild the other. (I had actually bought 2 new ones, but one, although in the correct box, was the &&^%$##%^&*& wrong size. I was rather perturbed at that, but stores were closed by this point.) I also put in a new Master Cylinder, and was tightening a compression fitting, which overtightened, and cracdked. *&%#!@%^^#&^%&*^$ oh well, that's always how it goes. Luckily, time is on my side for now. Anyway, this is on a '67 bus, with a limp brake pedal... thanks
