The latest is that I have no freakin' clue as to how to work on brakes.

I think in the end, I may go with a 12V vacuum pump designed for car or similar use. As soon as I can find a good/cheap one.

The brakes actually work fine for 25 mph or less, making sure you have a little stopping distance. I would like the car to go a little faster and stop a little easier than that.

I think the next thing I really have to do on the brakes is make the front driver-side brake work right. It is really dragging. I may just "PB Blaster"-it and then start looking to see how it works.

Time to break out the repair manual again.
