Mines too! I couldn’t get fluid after replacing springs and wheel fully cylinder and it wasn’t braking at all, it was my Proportioning Valve that closed up, but I got it open and fluid came out :D but I think I forgot to adjust my brake adjuster cause it falls down to floor and sticks and will only depress if I press it and pump up or it naturally does it
no access to adjuster on the rear drum brakes-1998 chevy silverado? ridge worn into the drum from the shoes. any words of advice? Thanks Duane and Happy Holidays
there are two knockouts at the bottom of the backer plate. You have to punch them out and use one to push that arm away from the aduster wheel and then push on the adjustment wheel on the bottom to get it to back the shoes from the drum.
Do you have to take the wheel & drum off to adjust them ? It should have a window / hole you can reach through and turn the adjustment wheel. Shouldn’t it ?
@@duanescarpad2831 That works . I was thinking the window was on the back side and I wouldn’t have to even take the wheel / tire off. Going to look right now.
Does the adjustment work for a sticking drum when coming to a stop? My 98 Silverado passenger drum hangs up at a complete stop.
It might if it's out to far it could cuase the drum to stick but a bad brake cylinder could do the same

Not much you can accept take a hammer to the drum and hit left and right try to rock the drum off

I didnt look for the window some vehicles have them some don't I just slide the drum off and on til it's tight and you can hear a slight drag on it

@@duanescarpad2831 97 Tahoe 2 Door does NOT have a window , I had to take wheels off.
