In trying to bleed my brakes I drained the master cylinder. (I started getting lots of bubbles as my first clue). Do I now need to do a bench bleed on the master cylinder to get it right, or can I add more fluid to the thing and bleed all the brakes until the lines are clear of bubbles. If I can...

Possibly a helpful hint for others. Hold the brake line back against the flare nut as you tighten it in. Seems to have set and no drips (so far).

Middle and bottom photos are the pulled cylinders, top is the new purchase. I've done some more investigating around town. Autozone had two more of the same cylinders and they look exactly like my top photo so I've done no damage. I also pulled the brake apart and bolted the cylinder to the line...

Cleanest cylinder is the new one that leaks at the nut. It appears to be flatter inside the flare nut bore. I caused that via tightening or the flare on the line is a different type than the original as noted in the other two dirty cylinders. Discerning eyes?

If you recognize my name you know I've been haltingly working on the brakes of my 66 Monaco. Today's (and yesterday's) mystery is the brake line running from the "T" at the differential to the driver side rear passenger wheel cylinder. All the components in the brake are new. The original line...

Front wheel bearing is correct.

Reading about the appropriate torque on the spindle nut for 66 Monaco. It states 90 inch pounds. Using a conversion page that comes out to 7.5 foot lbs. That seems like not much. Thoughts?

Here's a photo of the current situation. Star wheel rubs against the adjuster arm but I can manually turn the star up or down. The arm does not fall into gaps to lock. Could it be that I just need to adjust the star outward enough for the wheel to locate properly. Currently it's set as closed...

The adjusters are new and correctly located, based on the images I've seen, but there is no way/no flange to catch on. This is true of the old ones as well. Mystery.

Found 2 and three quarter inch front shoes through autozone.

in resetting up my drum brakes, the adjusting star wheel does not engage the adjusting arm, but just rubs against it. I undid all the brakes except one before I noticed how they were set. The one that remains also just rubs rather than clicks. Is this correct? All the videos I've watched we...

My Drums (66 dodge Monaco with 383) are 3" and 2 and 3/4 Pads on the front brakes. The local parts store can get ahold of 3" pads. Will these actually measure 3"'s and if so, is that an issue inside a 3" drum. Seems like it might be too little room. Any thoughts on any of this?
