Soft Brake Help for a Newbie
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually started this whole process by just jacking up the rear. Just recently, I've jacked both the front and rear. There doesn't seem to be a difference, at least in my case. And there is just one brake light, no ABS light.- bivey77

Soft Brake Help for a Newbie
I'm at a total loss now. I have no brakes at all at the rear. Here's what I've done since I last posted. I found that when I had removed the RWAL, I had actually cross-threaded the brake line fitting into the combination valve.

Thanks for your reply. The brakes worked great before I did the work on the rear wheels. It's entirely possible that the rubber lines are shot, but it's strange that they would go bad right at the same time as the wheel cylinders. I'll check them out though and get back.

Soft Brake Help for a Newbie
Hey everyone, This is my first time posting here, but I've been a lurker for about 6 months now. I inherited a 1990 GMC K1500 a few years ago that had thrown a rod in 2007 and sat in CA until it was towed to Denver in 2014. I just got around to fixing it March-May of this year (had to replace...- bivey77
