55 Chevy Finally Moving In the Right Direction! We Have Stopping Power! 

Dan, Daniel my brother! Great job!! Great car! 🎉 I remember the days when you bought a new part, it worked. Getting a bad part was unheard of... but, I'm old like Murr. Dan, I need a favor? Please pat Murr on the back and say "An old guy with cancer said you did a great job raising a great son!" ... Then tell him you love him. You never know how long us old guys will be around. Signed - Your friend, Cancer guy! 😊

Good to see your Dad there !! Now we know everything will be 100%

I noticed on the last video the front reservoir was getting a ton of pressure while the rear was doing almost nothing while Dani was looking for bubbles.. glad you got it nailed!

Cool to see u and your dad brainstorming.

Love how your channel is just so easy to watch, and Dan is like your big brother. All ways put a positive sping on everything

Hahaha! We've all run the M/C dry while bleeding brakes! Anyone that says they haven't is lying 😂😂😂 I enjoyed the Auto Shop Teacher "I told you, I told you!" and the ribbing they gave you over it...quality family entertainment right there! It's so great to see you all working on this tri five "keeper" and I will continue to enjoy seeing this one in the future. Keep up the great work guys!

Hey Dan&Dannie You got it fixed! Take care 😊

Careful Mur. Putting a wrench in the toolbox. He'll never find it.

Junk's Automotive on RU-vid had a message for you. Great show. Thanks for all you do.

Murr comes over and bails ya out, Old guys rule .

I'm on my 3rd rebuilt AC compressor for my 80s Eldorado. I just had a new one installed today from NAPA. It works!

Been there, done that! Most channels would hide that ah-ha moment. Thanks for all the Great videos!

Nice progress today! Great job persevering through the trials!

I have run a repair shop for quite some time. Been in business 100 years. Dorman stuff was junk in the 80s.No better now. Do not use. This car is super cool. Can’t wait to see the transmission in action!

When Dani was filming the bleeding of the master cyl., no bubbles were coming up from the back port, then, when you were having trouble bleeding, I was thinking that master might be the culprit. Can't wait for the road test,,/ test beat. Should be an awesome driver for you! Keep up the great work, see you tomorrow!

The money and effort you put into this car I hope it turns out to be everything you wanted 👍

Love the car 👍I didn't get to finish the video yesterday. I had a fire. I'm back now 👍💯

Nice seeing you use tge instructions. Even if it was to just move tools from the hood bench, to the floor bench.

With all these new parts going in I'm glad we get the clutter and chaos we're used to so we know we're in the right place! lol You deserve it, working hard, this car is gonna be bad ass!

Hey Mur, good to see you keeping tabs on the talent. Some words of wisdom if he gets a little to big for the britches ...a man can grow a head of hair, but it takes a hellova man to wear it off ;) You three rock !

I feel ya on the parts thing... Sucks to spend the money and more importantly, the time doing a job, only to take it apart and put it back the way it was... Way to keep after it and get it done!!

This is one thing we don't realize, just watching a video. 5 hours on the brakes! Ouch! I don't mind the rant, I like to see Dan being real, whether upset or enthusiastic. That is what is special about DDSS. Love you all. God bless. 🇨🇦

Bad parts SUCK!!! Glad you got it figured out Dan. I can't wait to see you cruising in it!

OMG...Dani and Mur for the win! Had a rough day, y'all put a smile on my face! God bless!

Usually most mechanical parking brakes llike that need the parking brake applied several times to put the piston into its "out position". Then you get your pedal hight and good brake pedal feelin after bleeding😊 Cheers from Junk's Automotive

That old man rocks.

Don't make fun of your dad's glasses you will be there some day

Father and Son ! Love it,

" sitting on the couch with your pants off", too much information danniel. Your giving me nightmares, lol😂

Great video as always DD Speed Shop! You guys are great, love the 55 too. Has Mur been classified as a Canadian national treasure yet?

Love the dynamic with your family!

Mur seemed like he'd rather be anywhere but there bleeding brakes 😂. Awesome hotrod Dan!!

" Airbrakes" is a good one, Dad. Lmao. 😂

I feel your pain Dan! I have purchased some new parts recently and they were junk! I got the Delphi and they are fine!

Mer: U get the I told you so award!

Nice job on getting the brakes working again. I hope everything goes well. Keep up the great work.

Way to go Murr and Dan. Good example of going thru the process together. That stuff will have you second guessing yourself.

Thanks for sharing this video with us

Great job yall thanks 😊 ❤❤❤

Kudos to the camera work on the passenger rear brakes. I have no idea how you operated the camera there.

You are doing a awesome job that's a sweet 55 chevy

Aftermarket parts are getting to be more often than not junk! Had to be frustrating, but you have to feel great having figured it out. Murr to the rescue. You would have figured out eventually. Murr is such a wealth of knowledge and so nice. You are lucky to have him and Danni in your corner.

Three Heads are better than One !!! You got it Sussed !!! Rave- - On Danni and Dan and Mur !!!

I use a pneumatic power brake bleeder I bought several years ago. Its similar in operation I used in the army and at several auto repair shops I worked at. Beats having to use my old MAC Tools hand operated vacuum pump and drain cup, something I have done too many times.

I put out a comment,and it never showed up,I'm moving on, good luck keep up the good work.

My past experience anytime in the middle of bleeding brakes, if the master runs out of fluid it would suck air in and it would work exactly like you were having happen and I would have to re bleed the master cylinder then care on bleeding the rear brakes. The instructions even tell you if you run the master empty in the middle off bleeding brakes you have to bleed the master cylinder again. Hope this helps in the future. Anyways can’t wait to see the 55 out on the road. It’s going to be great.

Dude!!! Last video showed you the problem!!! Pull that thing apart, and fix it with a seal kit. Bench bleed it, put on the shelf for the next car?!✌️

Oh well Dan, you have to give a senior his moment of glory. You're such a good son for setting that whole thing up ahead of time for Mur. 😂

I've changed a bunch of those rear brakes and never even knew what that tool kit looks like.. i always just use channel locks to screw the piston back in

Sometimes new proportioning valves have a reset button that needs to be pushed on it. It shuts off the fluid loss for a leak. This is usually the rear circuit. Not sure if yours has the button on it but something to look for.

remember when you were bench bleeding the master you and Danielle both checked the rear master because there was very low flow in it.

It’s called a high-lead caliper I was a tech when they were around and very few techs had a clue what to do when they couldn’t get a pedal after a repair

They are ganging up on ya Dan!!

I remember my folks had a late 80's Buick Regal had those rear calipers.

Good seeing Murr Thank god he showed up to tell you what to DO Dan Dani good camera work Let’s see the road test Het Dan GO FAST CARS NEED GO FAST BRAKES

The Man that's blowing up the Internet MUR!... Great video

Inline tube still has quality brake parts

Dan, the caliper needs to be offset on the pins, as the brake pads wear the calipers will move inboard as the outer pad thins with the inboard pad getting thinner too while the piston moves everything. If you centered the pins with new pads you will be up against the brackets as it wears

Danna 60 from a c30 has a disk brake kit that works right out of the box. And they come with 4-10 gears.

Love you guys , Keep up the Great work

Dan there is a video on RU-vid now showing you specifically how to stop those bad Master cylinders from leaking.

It’s all about proportion valve. 80-85% to the front

Going to be able to mount a snowplow bracket with the tilt hood, could get interesting.

Time for a brake Dan? Lots of trouble with that stuff but, you figured it out. Great work. Now some wiring. Too bad you need parts from the Nomad. Cheers!! 😊

Hi Mur! Always the teacher.

I love the fan style cluster in the tri-five

"A talking me off the edge princess" boy do I need one of those 😂😅

Good talk Dan!

Hey Dan and Danielle, Dan, I have to say, you're one of, if not, the hardest working RU-vidr on RU-vid. You work your regular job all week and after work you're making videos. I don't know how much sleep you're getting, but you have to take a day here and there to rest. I know you can't wait to take this car for a ride and I can't blame you. Hell, now I can't wait to see the first road test. Maybe after the first road test, you can take a day of just cruising around with it for your video. Anyway, love your channel, all your car builds, your helper Danielle and all the videos. Take care and be safe.

What a great Monday with Mur. Wednesday? Ooh I like the sound of that!

The front brake reservoir should be at the back of the master I think your lines are run backwards😅

I had some similar, tried to bleed Master on car, could not get pressure after bleeding system, pulled master and bench bleed, then had great pedal.

i use a motive power bleeder and i make my own adapters. ferncos plumbing parts are perfect, or i use a cap I modified. nissan,honda,mercedes, toyota,lexus I do my neighbors cars too. I love a power bleeder.. takes longer to tke wheels off then to bleed..

I told you that yesterday you got to ratchet e brake to get them set .

You know. Sometimes I feel like a complete idiot.... Then I watch your videos, and I think, nope, par for the course. Takes Dan two days to bleed brakes, what I am doing is not so bad.

Must be adjusted"E-brake" then u can bleed vs. Versa. Was a common problem.in GM. with factory rear disc

Your welcome from me the old guy Respect 😘

For future reference those early style GM rear disc had to be bleed with zero space. Next time operate the E brake until it is touching the pad then bleed the brakes. I remember when I was a young mechanic I went through this same issue.

I had a 1989 IROZ Z with disc / disc brakes. No rear brakes no matter what I did. Sold the car. My buddy told me afterwards you need to "ratchet the e brake several times" to load up the piston. Self adjusting deal.

Not sure how you keep from burning the carpet. I can have a rag 50 ft away from the welder still catches fire. Great as always.

Mur is like Mighty Mouse, he saves the day 😂

Love seeing Mur. He's looking a little ruff tell him to get a haircut lol.

Dan You know what they say "Them's the brakes" lol keep smiling!

The signature door squeak is awesome . If doesn't squeak it ain't a tri-5 . Throw the Seville calipers in the garbage . Big drum brakes are the only way to go .

Is it possible those new master cylinders don’t take to bench bleeding, ? Maybe the piston goes past holes and lets fluid in behind causing it to leak .

Yep those brake calipers need to be ratcheted up manually with the ebrake pedal, as they are being bled to create no space between the pads n rotors. the master does not have enought umph. To move all pistons out in one pump. Once they are ratchet up then bled you'll get pedal pressure.

It’s great when you explain your issues With parts 😂

I’ve never had good luck with dorman parts. I’ve tried using them on the old jeeps I work on and they never work, there is always sumthing wrong, sumthing not long enough, sumthing too short, wrong threads…. I’ve found places straight from china that are more reliable than Dorman

Do you have a proportioning valve and how is it set?

It's OK Dan we all forget to fill our fluids now and then lol 😂

Build Dani a carpeted foot rest. She deserves it! You know we all love Dani.

So was the master cylinder bypassing when it had pressure on it

Maybe getting back to rebuilding things is the best route. That's how it was not 20 years ago. Have parts on your shelf to be self service.

Is being the shop teachers kid the car guy version of being the Preachers daughter?

Wow Dan that is a cool bench seat ? Not sure ? 650hp one piece tilt front end . It's like missing something? 🤔

When i had a air block in rear breaks i would open the bleeder and smash the brake pedal hard close the bleeder and do this till i had good fluid moving then do regular bleeding

I just went through TWO bad fuel pumps in a row. Dead right out of the box.

Dani needs a pair of plarform shoes for that car!😂

My 06 mustang had those 'screw ou't pucks.

When’s the tunnel ram coming?
