Re: [FWDLK] Brakedrum hub puller

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike72@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the brake light comes on as you describe you most likely have a
problem with the master cylinder. Either something is keeping the brake
pedal from from coming all the way back up, or else the little
compensator(equalizer?) hole in the cylinder bore (usually visible in the
bottom of the fluid reservoir) is plugged. Next time the light is on,
loosen one of the fittings on the master cylinder to see if there is
pressure there, with the brake pedal released.
Same thing happened to Me once when the snap ring in the end of the
master cylinder corroded, building up a ring of rust that held the piston
in just enough to keep the compensator port closed.
