Title: No brakes
Post by: clubcoupe57 on 2007-06-08 19:26
Hi Guys, I did the disc brake swap and everything worked good for awhile!!! Now I have know brake pedal, master cylinder is full Of fluid and know leaks, when we push down on the brake pedal and take the cap off the reservoir the the front brake portion of the reservoir bubbles, it is like it is just recycling in the master cylinder, new rebuild master cylinder what do you think bad master cylinder? Thanks Guys, Mike

Hey guys, I forgot to add that the pedal goes to the floor!! I guess that is why they call it a emergency brake!!

Mike,
you did put a proprtioning valve in the system. I had problems using the wrong type. Just thought I'd ask.
goodluck, Ron :004:

before i would replace the master i would block off lines and push pedal to see if it is still going all the way down. did you bleed the master first by its self?

Hi, Guys, Thanks for all the help, I went ahead and changed the M.C. and have brakes again.
Thanks again, Mike
