Hello all, i'm just finishing up a 3/4 ton axle swap on my 1982 k5 blazer and I cannot for the life of me get any pressure at the brake pedal. I had to replace the hard lines, wheel cylinders, shoes, and hardware kit on the rear axle and adjust the shoes. I have went through literally 8 big bottles of brake fluid bleeding it.
I used the Reverse Fluid Injection procedure with my phoenix systems self brake bleeder, then did the old pump the pedal with a helper and i've got no air bubbles coming out of the master cylinder reservoir and solid streams of brake fluid at all four corners, after checking for leaks a bazillion times my friends recommended me to replace the master cylinder (even though it operated perfectly fine prior to the swap) I did just that, bench bled it, installed it, did the same procedures as stated above and still no pressure.
Bleeding the front brakes the fluid squirts out a solid stream and very pressurized, bleeding the rear brakes the fluid squirts out a solid stream just not near the pressure as the front brakes.
I know this is probably the wrong area to post this question but it wouldn't let me post in the technical discussion. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
