Can you run a LH rear brake cylinder in the right drum? Mine has one and I keep having brake problems. Should I get the crossover line and go back to original LH and RH cylinders? |

NT and WT run different rear wheel cylinders. You say you have WT diffs but what backing plates/brakes do you have? NT 2 hose or WT 1 hose? |

Generally speaking - the differences in rear wheel cylinders are in the bleed arrangements - and once they are "plumbed" correctly, there's no reason why they can't be swapped from side to side. What is the nature of the problem you keep having? |

I can't get any pedal until the second pump of the brakes no matter how many times I bleed them. I looked for the bleeder under the drivers floor pan on the chassis rail that some WT's have but can't seem to find one. I checked the booster and it's fine. I just thought it was because someone put 2 left cylinders on. |

Bleeding is done to get rid of trapped air - not being able to get any pedal until the second pump doesn't sound like trapped air to me. Trapped air will usually result in the pedal being soft or "spongy" - which you don't mention - what does your pedal feel like on the second pump? Recheck the adjustment on the rear drums and go over the front calipers carefully - something is pushing a piston back into it's cylinder so that you have to pump to get it out before you can apply pressure - loose wheel bearings, stuck caliper slide pins |

I got sick of having no brakes so I pulled them all off, slide pins were siezed on one side and the rear shoes had no meat lefton them! I only changed them 6 weeks ago and i'm lucky to drive the old girl once a week!!! If I have to do the drums this often it's time for a rear disc conversion. |

Welcome to the world of shitty drum brakes and mud. |
