I have been working on my 58 Fleet
I am getting close to taking it to the glass shop,but ran into a problem,I cant bleed the brakes.My master cylinder is under the cab.I put the vacuum pump on the lines and have semi clear fluid at all 4 wheels,but when I try to pump pedal I get nothing,no pressure.I made the brake push rod measuring from power brake booster to the pedal,I'm thinking the rod is not long enough.How much longer should the rod be?am I on right track?
