my brakes are gone. im not sure what's wrong with my braking system. i got 2 discs in front and 2 drums in rear. i think i have to bleed my brakes because when i press the brake pedal all the way, that crap won't brake. it'll brake somewhat but the car skids all the time. kinda scary. i know that with four discs, you have to bleed them from the rear passenger disc, then the rear driver, then the front passenger and lastly, the front driver(closest to the master cylinder). with two discs, do i go from the front passenger to the front drivers. i dont think i can bleed drum brakes, right? what do i do with the drums? i think thats the problem, that i have too much air in my brake lines. i dont think its the pads because they don't screech or anything so it dont sound like metal rubbing against metal. if anyone has any suggestions or comments that can help me to bleed the system, thatd be greatly appreciated. also, if someone can tell me the order in which to bleed the system, thatd be great too. i think its from the passenger fron to the driver front side. is this correct?

Okay, so im giong to try to open the drums n crap. if theres no leakes there, what should i do? take it to a shop and do diagnostics or sumthing?
also, im painting my calipers as we speak, im spraying 2 silver base coats and 2 clear coats. i should just paint the drums while its on the car, right? o yea, im painting the drums black, before someone starts to rank on me :-) -------------------- ![]() |
