went ahead and used the hydraulic hose (2x the thickness) and bled the system. the brake pedal feel is way better vs oem. might be since the brake fluid is new but its way better than before 🙂
sad but we dont have it here. they do have hoses for air brake though. anyhow. I just went for a 1/4 hydraulic hose (oem is at 1/8) and bleed the whole system out of air. brake feels better compared to oem.
Using michellin highway terrain tyres. All running at 32 psi. Dine swapping, rotating still ended up with the same problem

Hey Karl, done all of those. Same shit lol I did however tried to adjust my caster from +1° to +2° on both sides and will do a road test.

Don’t drum brakes have an adjuster somewhere (not the star wheel) for the normal brake that goes together with the disc brake?

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=157476]Hard to say. It could be normal, or perhaps the water you used had a high sulfur content or something. If the vehicle is cooling correctly then I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
I haven’t run into this so I can only guess.[/quote]
Hey Eric, since I got you here, allow me to thank you for all the videos you’ve made. It helped me a lot with my truck and saved me a lot too!Anyhow, the water that I used is distilled water. I’d love to do the funnel method when it comes to topping up the rad with water/coolant but we don’t have that kind funnel in the Philippines. So I just squeeze the top hose to burp the air out.

[quote=”college man” post=157428][quote=”Pope_Jay” post=157408]I just flushed my cooling system (used a radiator flush fluid, and followed the proper flushing procedure) and replaced it with a fresh mix of 20/80 coolant/distilled water, after a month of use I checked my radiator to see if everything looks good, and it does but I smelled the coolant and it smells like fish. Is this normal? I don’t find any leaks at the bottom of the engine.

If the smell is there after the flush then the contamination was pretty severe from
the lack of change. Usually the recommended mixture is 50/50.[/quote]
Reason why I’m doing 20/80 is because we live in a tropical country (Philippines). I religiously have my truck serviced by Nissan and coolant is always changed every 40k kms. It was changed recently 80k kms and now it’s at 95k kms. So does that mean that Nissan didn’t change my coolant at all?Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
This is the first time that I’ve opened the drum brake. Usually i leave it to the dealer to service my truck but recently they’ve been failing my expectations so I decided to just diy

I damaged them when I removed the drum. It got stuck to the drum when I am removing them using the 8×1.25 method. I also broke the retaining tab that holds the pin that holds the brake shoe. Anyways, I’ll just buy a new one and replace those. Thank you for the advise 🙂
