lets talk brake trouble
History, S-10 conversion, 12 years ago. Now i am putting it back to use.
Now the trouble. soft peddle, no fluid to rear, leaking rear cylinders, and so on. What I have done. Replaced all lines (front and rear) calipers and rear cylinders pads and shoes master cylinder and valve used power boost (because I had a soft peddle after changing calipers and rear cylinders) now i have a hard peddle The new trouble is now, no good pressure at brakes. checked the boost by removing vacuum, slight press on peddle and feel small movement on start-up. Any thoughts?

Now wait a Min.....You said ...(no fluid to rear, leaking rear cylinders)..
 How do you know they are leaking if you said No fluid to rear... Did you re-bleed everything (right) ????

From CPP's "Brake Troubleshooting Guide":
Rock Hard Pedal • Insufficient Vacuum = Check vacuum pressure • Blocked Vacuum Check Valve = Test Power Brake Booster • Bad power booster = Test Power Brake Booster • Frozen Wheel Cylinder = Replace caliper • Binding Pedal linkage = Inspect pedal assembly
