Sudden Loss of Brakes, No Fluid Loss...

[threewood]

You were pumping the brakes with the brake shoe uninstalled and it didn't blow the cup and seal out of the cylinder? Better check the line to that wheel. Hydraulic pressure should have blown fluid all over that drum...

I bled them after I put them back together, all four corners since I had the mc off. No issue with fluid coming out on any of the wheel cylinders. They all bled fine.

Make sure to check it again after a few miles.

I remember finding the wrong adjuster on a car once. The adjuster was for the opposite side of the car. Each time you hit the brake it would loosen up instead of tightening, result would be what you discribed. They have a "R" or "L" on the end where the cap goes on.

Just a thought...

Well crap, didn't think of that. Time to pull the wheel again lol
