Rear brakes and brake accumulator...

Two spheres are blown; we'll rebuilt all of them. 

The hydraulic system works on vegetable oil. I have noticed a lot of foaming which could explain the  air in the system. 

I'm going to change the shoes.


just in time...




On the left side the shoe placement was wrong. The small shoe (Primary) is supposed to be on the front. Less force goes to the back shoe which is why it is bigger than the front one to even out the braking force.



After conducting a test, the brake accumulator is not doing its job.


The ball inside the accumulator is in bad shape. It could be the problem but since the accumulator is out, we'll open it. 


 The drums are in good shape; just some sanding and cleaning.


Aligning the shoes...



This side is finished.
