Brake Lights
Posted in The Long Rode on July 29th, 2011 by WadeLast night after getting back from a CPR class I set to putting the back end back together on Marlin. I started with honing out the brake cylinder. That went very well and the bore was as smooth and shiny as freshly honed cylinder. Being that is been 100ohere I was sweating buckets but was was able to get every thing reassembled.

I have to say though that the shoe springs on those brakes are crazy stiff. It was quite a challenge to get them on. I also bled out the brakes and put the tire back on to the hub. Every thing seemed to be working just fine but then I noticed that brake fluid kept leaking out. Well this was obviously no good. After I found the bras gasket that had fallen down behind the hub mount and got it put back on the banjo the leak stopped. Excellent. Now the brakes work and the brake lights works.
