I am having brake problems again. Last summer I spent mega bucks on all new wheel cylinders (wagner), a new master cylinder, new brake lines, new brake hoses, and all new brake pads. I also spent countless hours trying to bleed and adjust them correctly. Now that I finally got them to where they "aren't too bad", a wheel cylinder burst on me today. My truck doesn't get much use, but I thought that the brake overhaul would get me a few years at least.
Anyone have any suggestions as to why I am having these problems or how to avoid them when the truck doesn't see a lot of use?
I used DOT3 brake fluid on the overhaul.
