95 Del Sol Brake problem
As I was driving down the road I came to a light, as I stepped on the brake pedal, I realized it almost went to the floor and the brakes were not as powerful at all.(took awhile to slow down) As I got closer to home I heard a noise coming from the rear drum brakes. I know I have to replace them soon, could that be the problem? I heard it could be the master cylinder but I checked my brake fluid level and it was fine( in the middle of max and empty) Any tips of any kind would greatly be appreciated, Thanks.

Re: 95 Del Sol Brake problem
no leaks from the wheel cylinder. As soon as i removed the drum, a spring fell to the ground. could that be the problem? im looking at diagrams and pictures online of drum brakes and i cannot figure out where it goes. i guess the hooks on each side are kind of long, and straight about equal distances on both sides and the spring part is small.

Re: 95 Del Sol Brake problem
When that happened to me my wheel cylinder broke in half and then as soon as I pulled the passenger side drum apart the other wheel cylinder broke as well lol. If the del sol brakes are similar to the civic drums take a look at this : http://www.civicforums.com/forums/43...placement.html
I just replaced mine last week and I used it as a guide to see what I had to do before taking the drums apart. There should be 3 springs total. One going across both shoes on the top, a small spring going across the shoes on the bottom and the 3rd one connects to a clip on one of the shoes.
