I installed the new drivers side front brake cylinder and rubber hose. Using that brake “pliers” makes the job freakin’ a breeze. I had no idea how to use the bottom section of the tool and did a little youtube research. It’s the most important function of them all! Removing the upper springs from the pivot bolt has always been one of those watch out for the flying springs moments. This tool makes it a breeze.
I took the 64′ Hard Top out for a test drive and stomped on the brake pedal. No more hard pulling to the right. The old cylinder was so rusted and frozen solid I literally only had 3 brakes working driving back from Waterford, CA. when I first purchased it.
There is a slight soft pedal action and I will do a full bleed again once I have someone I can snag for an hour or so. It’s a pain in the ass gravity bleeding a brake system.
