Rear brakes failed inspection
I put new brakes on the rear (Shoes) and it failed inspection. The guy said they are not working well so other than bleeding them is there anything else I can check for?...Thank you...Tj

Could be bad brake cylinders..Did you replace all the hardware like the springs and such? If not get a rear brake hardware kit and replace it all..Also did you have the drums turned? Did the inspector give any suggestion on making them pass or did he say what caused them specifically not pass?

If you didn't install the new spring kit, do so. It will put tension back into the whole system. Also, check your self adjusting cable. They can gain slack and even snap over time.

He did that thorough of an inspection wow. Or what did he do to make you think you failed I mean did he pulled your tires and drums?
Did he just mash on the brakes. If that is the case he may have thought they felt spongy and need to be rebled. JUst curious what exactly and inspector did to determine it was rear brakes.

The E-Brake Adjustment doesnt control pedal height but it does control handle height. Also if you adjust the rear brakes you get alittlle more stopping power. now much but some.

Ok fine think what you want. Some of you should take the Wagner classes that are offered.
Remember the whole thing is a system.
Then again what do I know, I only do 8 piston vette brakes without messing up the piston seals and I get pedal back 99% of the time on the first to third bleed..
