HI
i have a 71 chevelle with 4 wheel drum brakes.i recently replaced some brake lines due to rust.when i tried to bleed the brakes the front passenger side would only trickle out fluid when i cracked the bleeder and my son worked the brake pedal.also the brakes pulled very hard to that side.i replaced the hose and the wheel cyl. and now i was able to bleed the brakes on that side.my problem is that the brakes are still pulling very hard to that side.i checked the adjustment and all 4 wheels were close.i even tried to make the driver side tighter but it still pulls very hard to the passenger side when i step on the brakes.any help will be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
MIKE :confused:

possible sticking wheel cylinder or collapsed hose on the opposite side of the pull...so if its pulling to the passenger side replace the hose on the drivers side and rebuild or replace the wheel cylinder. Happens a lot, just cant tell by looking when a hose has had it.
