Probably should have posted in Fleetwood forum.
I was bleeding whole brake system, replaced the rear right bleeder screw and everything went well. I have noticed that the right pushroad of the wheel cylinder was kind of very loose, I could remove it if I wanted with fingers. Then I started the engine and applied the brakes slightly to see how the parts of the rear brake move. You know what happened next. lol The piston pushed out the right seal and the pushroad way too far and brake fluid was pouring out of the cylinder.
Took the shoes off so I could put back the drum and the wheel back. The left pushrod, the piston, and the seals look OK. There was some sludge in the cylinder. What is that? Degraded DOT3? Can I still use the same cylinder or should I consider a replacement?
