Well here is what's going on I replaced my rear brakes and i noticed i have a no pedal till i hit the fronts.so pulled the wheels had my brother hit the brakes and i tried to turn the drums and they turn Free so I check fluid level good there. Bleed breaks good still no breaks. It is an 84 f150 nothing special with break system. I did wheel cylinders thought they leaked was going thorough fluid like crazy, shoes, all the springs, and drums any more info let me know and thanks for the help

 

Have you adjusted the star wheel adjusters yet?

 

Yes have I pulled brake drum on one side and they are not moving at all

 

So they're frozen? You can't move them at all by hand or with a flathead screwdriver?

 

Sorry let me clear this up. They will move by hand just not under brake pressure. And I have no bad lines or visible leaks but using allot of brake fluid

 

Also will not work with parking brake

 

Okay, you need to adjust them with the drums on throughout the small adjustment hold on the backing plates. Jack up the rear of the truck and put it on axle stands. Turn the star wheel adjusters on each brake just until you can turn spin the wheels by hand and hear a little bit of brake resistance/rubbing. That will adjust the shoes out so that they'll contact the drums.

 

Ok did not adjust because that will not actuate at all holding the shoes the wheel cylinders don't move I know there good checked all the seals and cylinder boar

 

Also paddle us soft like not making pressure at mater

 

When you bleed the cylinders you dont have pressure? But the front brakes are working. You keep saying your going through a lot of fluid.The brakes are a sealed system if the fluid level in you resivor is dropping you ha e a leak somewhere.

 

I understand but with the amount I go through there should be a rather Osage puddle under the truck but I see no leaks

 

Was gravity bleeding could not get petal to hold to bleed

 

Was gravity bleeding could not get petal to hold to bleed

 

You are doing this by yourself? That's not going to work. Get a significant other out there to push the brake pedal while you work the bleeders in the rear.

 

Gravity bleeding works fine do it all the time I work on trucks for a living just never seen this one. So kinda lost on this one
