I'd venture a guess that either one of your brake shoes, drums or snail cams
are worn, or you have the shoes installed incorrectly (leading/trailing
configuration, springs incorrectly installed shoe post to shoe post).
Are ALL brake parts new, w/c's, shoes, drums ???
You can bleed the M/C on the truck by loosening the M/C pipe fitting at the
M/C and which goes on to the wheel cylinders, then pump pedal once(or apply
air pressure) and re-tighten the fitting as if it were a w/c bleed screw.

Can anyone please tell me how to bleed the CB type Master on a single
circuit non boosted SWB Land rover is bled.
I have pressure bled it down, I have sucked from the bottom. I have
even pressure bled up from the wheels.
What it is doing is the following.
All parts are new.
I can pump up the pressure and it will hit the floor a few times then
hold. When holding, it will not fade, it will hold. Subsequent pumps
willk also hold without fading and the brakes are strong. BUT if I let
off the pedal and leave it for a few miniutes and then press it again,
it will go to the floor again until I pump it. It is a new CB master
type cylinder.
Do you have to prime these? How do you do this?
Thanks for all your help.
Kind regards,
Mark Pilkington
