Hi All,
Recently did shoes and cylinders all round, also did front brake drums and bearings, back drums had been previously done. Back left shoes wouldn't go on, let off the handbrake and they still the drum wouldn't accept them. I popped in the old shoes as there is loads left on them, then bled the system but now I've a new problem.....
I put the car in reverse to do the seating the brakes trick, flies along in reverse and stops bit doesn't like going forwards. Currently it's dark outside so I've called it a night but I've no problem going backwards for a bit tomorrow.....I've spent my whole life going backwards so no point changing now!
Is this common enough, will they eventually bed and normality return or do I need to jack er up?
Thanks!
Gavin
