Hi All
Recently did some major work on my defender 90 brakes which has drums on the rear. Fitted new front discs and pads, stripped front calipers and fitted new pistons and seals (split them in half first), replaced both front flexi pipes with standard rubber hoses and replaced front pipes with copper.
The problem is the pedal has a long stoke before the brakes start to work this was after i eezi bleed the whole system three times. I then replaced the master cylinder doing a bench bleed before fitting to the landy, eezi bled the whole system and also had somebody push the pedal while the eezi bleed was connected but still the same.
The front wheel will lock up when the brakes are stamped on but the pedal travel is still greater than before i started to overhaul the brakes.
Have i missed some thing or is the way to adjust the pedal travel.
