Thanks

Dave, the new master cylinder came in but has a boot. Due to the Newport having a power booster do I just take the boot off?

Perfect, so I remove it if I have a power brake booster?

Ok, the new master cylinder arrived and it has a boot. Do I keep the boot on?. It seems this may have caused the air leakage. Thoughts.

How do you bleed the master cylinder

Thank you, I have ordered a new master cylinder.

Thanks, I will keep you posted

Thank you Dave. I Did replace all wheel cylinders with Chico’s...ugh! I hope that’s not the issue because getting the back drums off were a real pain. I will check for any leaks. I did not replace the master cylinder. Could that be an issue? Maybe that’s my next step.

Will the lube loosen the wheel enough to align the tie rod end? Its way tight.

Greetings, After installing the Upper and Lower Ball joints the manual indicates a 125 FT Torque prior to installing lube. This seems high and once torques the arms don't move unless you put ALOT of pressure. I think I should loosen the bolt. Any thoughts. I do recognize I have not lubed...

Yes, I am replacing the bushings as well. Great suggestion regarding a soda or bead blaster.

Thank you! Was hoping for a better answer however a little hard work never hurt anyone.

We are replacing the Upper/Lower ball joints along with Tie rod ends etc on our new project(62 Chrysler Newport). Any tips on how to clean up all the old grease/lubricant? Some old stuff seems to be caked on with dirt and I needed to use a chisel other areas still have soft lubricant. Any...
