Hi everyone! I just got a 67 Satellite, 400 engine (not original one). When I step on the brakes, it pulls hard to the left. I pulled off the right front wheel, and that brake was adjusted way loose. So I adjusted it up to where it just drags a little, and same problem. So I am suspecting air in the lines, or bad wheel cylinder. The left front wheel will actually lock up and skid if you push the pedal real hard. Shoes look good, and drums appear ok. I am going to put a clear plastic piece of tubing on the bleeder valve outlet, submerge the other end in brake fluid, and have an assistant slowly pump the pedal while I watch for bubbles coming out. Any suggestions on another possible cause for this problem? Thanks.
