Re: 1962 stepside project by realvc
Got the new wheel cylinder on and still had a leak.
My shade tree mechanicin' is not what it should be.
After taking the steel line off again checking everything I decided that I just did have the line tight enough so I cranked it down really tight. It still seeped a little over night so I tightened it so more thinking it is getting close to twisting off.
The drivers side went back together with no problems and did not require near the tightening of the brake line.
No leak now and it has been a few days. I did fess up to the NAPA guys that the wheel cylinder I returned was not defective.
The truck is still on the lift for now as I've been doing other little pittleing things like cutting a half inch thick piece of iron off the back bumper some previous owner thought was a good idea for an extention for mounting the hitch ball.
Also been gathering the parts to reinstall the drivers side window and regulator other needed repairs.
