Brake pedal hitting the floor

<< < (2/4) > >>

Mine's the same, there's a little on the first press then stops very well on the second!
Thought it was standard!!!

Devon-Rover:
Excessive air can cause the double pump. but then the pedal can still be spongy.

I would go for adjusting them up first to see how that works.

Pulling could then be caused by air in the opposite side cylinder or a stuck piston on that side too. And again simply the shoes needing adjustment.

Robbo:
Hi ya all, sounds like a retainer springer has come off the shoes, often happens just make sure when you put it back that the spring is the right way up! Easy job hardest part is taking the wheel off! well ok probably the drum actually, just use a wooden drift or simliar if stuck, its also a good time to get to check the linings and shoes for wear and tear.....

neddy:
Thanks everyone. Adjusted the brakes (and cleaned all the mud out of front offside drum) and all is absolutely fine now. In hindsight it was obvious and I seem to recall doing it before. The strange thing is it occurred both times immediately after off roading which leads me to believe one of the adjusters is slipping during getting jolted about. I think I have some spare adjusters kicking about.
I even took it through a couple of fords today to give the underside and brakes a good rinse!!

ed209:
And now mine have failed all together
