Re: Esimatic BRAKE Question

After a weekend of brake adjustment I now have quite stunning "Easimatic Power Brakes"

All four wheels took a good turn or more of the star wheel adjustment.

The reservoir on the master cylinder took a complete fill up.

Wheels do need to come off for further inspection and the fluid level needs to be watched carefully for leakage possibilities.

As the fill cap is very easy to get to (now that I know), maintenance will be no problem.

The brakes seemed OK from the time I first drove the car but nothing like how it responds now.

I need to work up a vacuum jar with a couple of clear plastic hoses so I can suck out the old fluid and flush the reservoir. I don't want to push it through the lines at this point.

I had filled the reservoir so as I adjusted the shoes up fluid was pushed out through the vent in the cap.

After a weekend of driving stop and go and stop, I see no change in the fluid level which was left at full to the top.
