My Newport has power assisted 4 wheel drum brakes and a dual pot master cylinder.
It has a later model differential with self adjusting brakes .
Front brakes are standard and everything has been replaced,new wheel cylinders , shoes and flexible brake lines.
Rear brakes are almost new with no signs of weeping wheel cylinders .
Over a few weeks i have been trying to bleed the brakes with no success .
I follow the FSM pattern when bleeding , i have backed off the adjuster cams on the front brakes .
The back brakes bleed up well and i get good pedal feel.
When i try to bleed the front brakes there is unusual amounts of air bubbles which don't stop no matter how long i bleed them .
All pedal feel has gone once i try try to bleed the front brakes .
No brake lines appear to be weeping .
Any ideas ?
Cheers,
Greg
