Got some leaks. I am planning on using rebuilt master/slave/wheel cylinders. At this point, there is no reason for rotor/drum replacement. It is on a 1983 GMC Sierra 4x4 3/4 ton. Is there anything I should be careful about, other than the obvious. I have brake exp. but not on this (my brother's rig).

 

Optional Information:
1983 GMC Sierrra 350

I am just wondering about something that might be hidden from the less experienced person/p>

i would suggest to replace any flexible brake lines. and make sure you flush and bleed the entire system with new fluid. I would also suggest getting new pads and shoes and having your rotors and drums turned. other that that you are on the right track.
