7 November 2016 - Brake System

Contacted WCCC because I had a question or two about the brake problems I discovered.  After describing the problem( when pushing the brake pedal with normal pressure, the front reservior of the master cylinder shoots a stream of fluid, but the rear reservior does not), the determination was that the distribution block valve is stuck.  Recommendations were to made to replace the seals in the distribution block and clean up the internals of the distribution block.  So I ordered a seal kit for the distribution block and a tool to help with bleeding the brakes.

Also ordered a complete OE steel brake line kit(all steel brake lines front/rear/rear axle), and a fastener kit for the brake line kit.

Currently all of the hard lines, connections and the distribution block are soaking with PBlaster.  Hopefully in a couple of days when the parts arrive, things will loosen up a bit.
