OK, so I had a couple of leaking wheel cylinders in the front of my 68 Delmont, and decided to re-do the front brakes (11" drums all the way around). Before doing so, I had good pedal feel after pumping them a time or two. Now after replacing the shoes, wheel cylinder and adjusters in the front, and bleeding them, I have no pedal.

I am wondering if I somehow introduced air to the rears when stroking out the pedal when bleeding the fronts, did the master cylinder take a poop on me, or what? I never touched the rears, and now with no pedal, I am fearing there is more of an issue than I care to think about.

I think I will try bleeding the entire system first, and then go from there.

Any other thoughts, ideas or suggestions?

 

Most likely in the course of replacing the wheel cylinders you allowed the master cylinder to drain dry in the front section. You'll need to bleed the M/C first.
