My drivers side rear wheel cylinder is leaking, so I have my 59 TR3 on blocks waiting for the new cylinders to get here. I have never touched drum brakes before, so this sould be exciting. So anyway,

Since my brake and clutch are the same reservoir, I have to go the same for both. At this time, I am going to stick with DOT 4 simply because I will be replacing all the pipes and connectors in a few

And you're planning on repainting the firewall, inside and out, then ? The only "pros" of DOT 4 are that it's cheap and available on almost any street corner. If this appeals to you, I respectfully

In fact....yes! Next winter the whole body comes off for complete stripping, repair and repainting to original color. I figure if I use Dot4 in the mean time, it will help speed up the stripping pro

AVALON2455@aol.com replied I'll agree that's "best practice", in fact it wouldn't hurt to disassemble and wipe dry each cylinder to be sure all DOT 3/4 is removed. And as long as you have them apart

Every time I think that I've seen it all something new happens to me. Today, as I was inspecting my rear brakes I discovered that the drivers side rear brakepad and everything else inside the drum wa
