I Put grease in the front wheels to feed the boots. I put in 10 good pumps on each. The boot that has not been changed to the zipper boot feels like it can take more grease. The zipper boot seemed to give resistance after 10 pumps. I feel that one is full. Gonna add more to other boot. If I...

Lucas oil Grease

I got Lucas oil Heavy Duty Grease today. It actually reminds me of the GAA golden looking I used on these Vehicles a Long time ago. But the Lucas Oil grease is green.

Current status is : the 00 gear lube came. I will be changing the steering 80-90 weight to the 00 Also be greasing the fittings. Have to look at manual : looks like grease fitting or brake fluid bleeder inside the wheels facing up. Front wheels. Sorta think I maybe it’s a grease fitting to...

Bleeder valve on air assist pod on front / back end had square plug to take off and put in air compressor oil ( one of the videos suggested that to do). Will be looking in manual for Complete system parts. Have checked under a bit didn’t see any damage to brake line. But need to go thru it...

I haven’t gotten the bleeder yet. I have always either been in pumping the brake pedal or down under at the bleeder valves. I read and heard I can Gravity Bleed it. Plus You saying just pump brake then go and crack bleeder. Didn’t know you can do it by yourself. Another Good thing to know...

Great posts on the why Dot 5. When I get to fill up stage probably gonna put in 5 after reading a bit. Thanks

Question :: after the fix and adding fluid I will stay away from Dot 3. Will Dot 4 be OK or go to Dot 5? Thanks

I have done car and pickup drum and disk brakes. Nothing of this size. I will be looking into the leak at the Master. And the front wheel where the leak is has got to be worked on. Probably in time all the wheel seals need changing. Truck 42 yrs old. The drivers front side where the new zipper...

I will be getting Dot 5 and a bleeder The Dot that I added was Dot 4 ( My Bad) Thank You for Your Help and Direction 👍🏼🛻

I have 00 gear lube coming / I plan to replace steering 80-90w with it to help the leak at the pitman arm Thanks

You are So Correct. Got to get Brakes Up To Snuff before I drive Her. Will be looking into it. Thanks 👍🏼🛻

Thank You. You are SO Correct. I will be checking into the leak at master. May be a loose line or:: but I know the fluid on wheel well probably means bad wheel cylinder seal. Thank You.

The brake system needs looking into. Right front has fluid in wheel well in bottom and only after one drive. I added around a third of what I added after I got Her. Also bottom of master cylinder has fluid on it. Boot in front where plunger is looks good and not blown up in size. Plan to...

I think The brake system leaks need to be addressed. The right front wheel leaks fluid in wheel well in bottom today after the first ride. Brakes worked good. Added round a third what I put in before the ride. I looked at brake lines - looked dry and didn’t see any line damage. Think leaks...
