Rusty: I hate, to ask this; but do you know how to bleed brakes? No criticism intended. Get a coke bottle ( I use a baby food jar) fill it about half full of fluid, run a rubber hose from the bleed screw into the coke bottle, go pump the brake pedal (make sure the reservoir is full), depress the pedal once, give it a few seconds to refill the mc, pump again, repeat at least 10 times. Check the coke bottle on occasion during this process to make sure it does not run over. That should be sufficient normally for each wheel. When finished with that wheel close the bleed screw and move on to the next wheel. It helps if you have someone else depressing the brake pedal and you watch the bottle to see if any air bubbles are present. And you always bleed in the following order: right rear, left rear, right front, left front. Or from the furtherest wheel from the mc to the nearest. ________________________________ From: Rusty Herring <rustmah1@xxxxxxx> To: Texas Coalition of Busses <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, December 22, 2011 7:48:51 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: help have run 64oz through whole system after adjusting all brake shoes.

Adjust the brakes and then bleed. Make sure that you keep fluid in the reservoir and then bleed again, oh yeah, bleed again. I am not sure your rear wheels will “lock up”.

They are drum brakes. And see my post on adjusting the shoes. ________________________________ From:Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: TCB <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, December 22, 2011 5:40:41 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: help Sorry if this seems obvious but you don't mention if you adjusted the brake pads? ________________________________ From: Rusty Herring <rustmah1@xxxxxxx> Sender: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:31:45 -0600 To: Texas Coalition of Busses<tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ReplyTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: help I'm trying to fix the brake system on a 67 deluxe buse. Have changed out the mastercyclinder, all four wheel cycliners on the front,new drums on front. I've ran 64oz of brake fluid thru all the system(bleeding all wheel cycliners front and back) no more air, even bled mastercyclinder, all hoses look new. the brake pedal goes almost to the floor before the front brakes will lock up. the rear brakes want lockup. they will if you pull the e brake. i'm at a loss to figure this out . can any body offer any sugestions on what to try next?????? If it can happen it will hapen to me???? ________________________________ Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:54:41 -0600 Subject: [tcb] Bus sighting From: evil.scientist.boo@xxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx In the admirals club at LAX there is a large photograph about 4 by 6 on the wall.
