[6pack] Rear Brake Fun

[Dwayne Cooper]

Gang,
Kind of a long story but it goes like this:  I got new tires and wheels and
ended up with noticeable negative camber.  I took the car to the local
alignment shop and the guy didn't want to fiddle with the trailing arm
brackets so I decided to order and install the adjustable brackets from
Goodparts (beautiful things -- installed without a hitch).
I should have stopped there, but as I had the rear drums off I decided to
spray a little brake cleaner around the backing plate and other bits to clean
things up a bit.  Well, I must have gotten too aggressive with the cleaner
because one of the rear wheel cylinders started to leak.  I've had my eye on
the 7/8 inch rear wheel cylinders, so I bought a set from BPNW and decided to
install those.  The little fitting kit is kind of fiddly, but I got the
cylinders on and hooked up and then started to bleed the brakes.  The right
side seemed to bleed fine but when I moved over to the left, I got no fluid at
all and after my assistant pumped the brakes for a bit, the right wheel
cylinder started leaking.  I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect the
left wheel cylinder is defective, and maybe frozen but I'm wondering why that
blew out the right one?  Is it possible that if one of the cylinders won't
move the brakes try to push too much fluid to one side?
Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.
Thanks,
