Hi everyone,



I'm new on here, mainly because I have a problem, which just keeps on recurring. Recently I renewed all the brake lines, the hoses and put new kits in to the wheel clinders, and the master cylinder. In other words a complete overhaul, I did this because no matter how hard I tried I had air in the system.



Well I went out and after about 15 miles, the pedal got really hard, and the brakes came on. I thought that it was a master cylinder problem, so I had it rebuilt at a shop, I pressure bled it to make sure there were no leaks, and off we went again, and again the same thing happened. So I checked the wheel cylinders thay were fine, but it happened again. I dont know what to do next.

The brake pedal is adjusted so that there is about 3/4 of an inch play in the pedal, and the wheels are adjusted so that the brakes just touch the drums.



I am wondering whether to back offf the brakes a little because it seems to me that they get hot really quickly and build up the presure. So far 3 x mast cyl kits: and 4 wheel cyl kits. :mad:



Anyone had this problem?
