Just changed flexi brake pipes on rear. Bled both rear brakes. Not alot of bubbles or air came out. Brakes work fine and pedal feels grand but i now hav a grinding noise from rear drums when i stop slowley? Car is 00 corolla. Hav nct retest sunday. Is noise just worn brake shoes?

How hard is the brake pedal,sounds like you have still some air.

Mr infomaniac · 16-01-2014 3:54am

Brake pedal is as hard as ever. Will i fail brake test if i have air in system?

Were the old flexi brake lines leaking?

Didnt notice any leaks. Should i bleed them again?

It might only be shoes settling in again, have you driven the car much since you did the hose overall?

Driven about 5 miles since i changed pipes. Drove her fast and hit brakes hard. Car stopped quick and didnt pull to either side. Hope its ok for nct.

How is the handbrake?

Mr infomaniac · 16-01-2014 5:44am

Handbrake is fine.

If the noise wont go away maybe open up the drums to assess the state of the shoes and make sure everything is in order.
