Hi,
This question is directed mainly at those with drum-braked Heralds,
though the problem may be equally applicable to earlier Drum-braked TRs
and Standard/Triumph 8/10.
When bleeding the brakes on the Drum Braked Heralds, it can be near
impossible to get all of the air out at the front. I have found some
cars to be incredibly difficult in this respect, where others of the
same type have been completely trouble free. It is not a problem related
to the condition of the components, as I have experienced this problem
on at least one Herald with a complete new braking system! A friend of
mine asked for advice recently when he had this problem on his 948
Saloon. I was unable to give him a definitive answer, so I thought I'd
turn to the list. Any sound advice???
Looking forward to any ideas,
Cheers,
Bill.
