Ok guys,
I got the finger out and got the best bad news Ive had all week
I plucked up the courage to whip of the drums on the challenger and low and behold bye bye pepsi cola hello holy wine I found brake fluid!!
Here are the results.
The left one I adjusted by turning the bar at the base of the drum my dad worked the pedal. I adjusted then so I could just about fit the drums back on.
The right side one I did the same and when I took off the cover it seemed tighter and undisturbed- the nut was lose which may be the reason why I lost the spring.
Anyway I did notice that the whole set up on the right side drum seemed tighter than the left side one -the shoe on the right of the drum on the drivers side seemed to be riding higher than the one on the left side of the drum.
When I got my dad to push the pedal it moved as suspected but they it began to leak fluid!!
So at least I know where the issues are- I must say Im getting a bit more confident working on the car without getting cocky- I will have to get someone to do a proper job on the brakes.
Do the pads look worn to you!!
