An actual car post...

I should have said "crocus cloth" rather than emery. Sorry. Crocus cloth
will polish and does a great job of cleaning up microabrasive surfaces. It
is perfectly safe to use on cylinders or pistons.

Sorry I missed the point that his drain was on a rear caliper. Doesnt
make much difference, actually. I have redone rears as well as fronts.
They ARE different, but not that complicated.

Actually, rear drum backing plate.

I got it loose with Heat Riser lube and...Vise-Grips.

All bled, all working. Sort of. I'm used to a Supra and a Scion. Much less
pedal pressure required...

No duct tape? For shame.

Try a 1974 Chev Nova with unassisted drums all around...

I had a '72 Chevelle with unassisted drums all around - braking was a
workout on that as well.

in any system brake peddle pressure is strictly a function of peddle
ratio verses assist. KB

We had a '64 Chevy II and I believe that had power brakes. So long ago
(and about 3 years before I got my license...) that I forget.

I had a '74 Nova "SS" ( about the only thing "SS" about it was the
badges...) and that had power brakes for sure! I know because I traded a
1974 Corolla for it and went to hit the 'clutch' and caught the corner of
the brake pedal!!! OOOOPS!
