3000 MILES AT 150 CDN DOLLARS or A CONTAINER LOAD OF F60 BITS
JOKING OF COURSE.!!!!
Glad that the cause of the problem has been found and rectified. I did forget to ask if there is a lock nut on the push rod!
My Landrover brakes started out ok but I had not pinched the lock nut up tight in the master Cylinder on the push rod. The rod went out of adjustment. the brake fluid got trapped in the lines after a run down some hills. Brakes locked on in city centre. LOW Four wheel drive to lurch out of traffic lane. I was in the middle of 3 lanes on an up hill section when the brakes locked up. 1 wrecked 1/2 shaft end and 20 minutes trying to get moving, Finally released brake union and let fluid out onto car park [ 30 years ago] Statue of limitations applies Guv.
Moved to safer spot and went through checking for cause at my leisure. Laid on ground under drivers floor and used hands to operate Brake pedal lever, soon saw and heard problem as the system hydrauliced in about 2 strokes of pedal, Removed clevis as you did, Wound push rod to reduce rod length, REMEMBERED TO TIGHTEN LOCK NUT and re attached clevis.The brake actuation was much more positive. I also added a second return spring to the linkage to ensure the pedal fully returned on time every time.
The half shaft was changed a week or so later as it had broken off at Hub end,
