Hey all. THis is my first post on The Ranger Station. I was on Ford ranger Forum for a while, but there arent as many people, and i rarely ever got a useful response to a problem.
Anyway, Heres the deal.
I just rebuilt the rear drum brakes on my 94 ranger. new shoes, wheel cylinder, springs, in both wheels, new lines to the hose, new hose, new line to the ABS distributor. This was all because of a leaky line, so i decided to replace all this while i was at it.
After assembling everything (properly, i might add), and bleeding the brakes (all 4) with almost 2 quarts of fluid getting no more air out, bleeding the master cylinder with no air coming out, and properly adjusting the star adjusters on the rear drum brakes, i still cant get a firm pedal. I am fairly sure its RWABS, and not All Wheel, and i say this because there are only 2 lines coming out of the ABS distributor. I could be wrong, and if it is All wheel ABS, i know it needs to be bled by a professional.
but, assuming its RWABS, does anybody have any ideas what could be keeping the pedal from having good grab on the brakes?
Im at my wits end. please help.
