Do I then resume bleeding after the leaving something on the pedal all night? Yeah I will see what difference changing flexi pipe makes as there is obviously a reason that this cylinder is not holding a vaccum, thanks for the reply gents

So I'm getting near to the end with my land rover finally! After renewing the whole braking system I decided to purchase a vaccum pump to ease bleeding, I found I only had to crack the bleeder valve 1/4 of a turn and no more otherwise air entered through the threads. Upon trying the brakes I...

Oh balls so it goes in the bottom of the freewheel hub?

So I finished rebuilding and painting the fairey freewheeling hub, found this bit at the bottom of the bag as it was disassembled, does this go inside it? Looks just like a castle pinion nut

Sorry to hear but at least you got it sorted mate !

Also thank you all very much for the replies. Fingers crossed this adjustment is the last one needed. Ive had a ****storm with these brakes from the start. After this is done i just need to fit seats and adjust the handbrake and my land rover should be road worthy at long last

Cant remember if the shoes are chamfered. 100% springs are fitted correctly. Annoyingly my jack is at work so i will have to continue adjusting the brakes next weekend. Is there a standard limit where the pedal should be located on the master cylinder rod ?

Ssurely they shouldn't be so tight to the drum that I can't even push the vehicle in neutral though right? Don't get me wrong the brakes work well when they are like this

I also adjusted the snail cams one click off any binding BEFORE I adjusted the master cylinder today

So after removing and replacing the pads I trimmed down ( doh) I am back to this situation. All pipes have been replaced, all cylinders. Pads springs and drums. Wheel adjusters are on the lowest setting. System was bled + new fluid. Pedal seemed very hard/very little travel. Was binding...

Interesting I think you are right and I have the wrong one, well I have ordered the replacement parts necessary so fingers crossed it will be a smooth day putting the new bits on and getting the brakes functioning.

Thanks for the responses guys, yes that is the exact one I mean I did pay 12.00 for it and the guy said it would fit. I have just ordered the bearmach one so it will be interesting to give them a side by side comparison. I get a horrible feeling I'm going to have to replace the shoes that I...

Been looking online and i have a horrible feeling i was sold the model suitable fir the LWB as all the swb models look different to what i have...

Whilst this one in comparison is threaded nearly all the way down

This is the exact one i purchased
