Kastigir Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 How did you confirm that it's NOT the master cylinder? What are the brakes doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intac1991 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 i confirmed that it is not the brake master cylinder because i changed it out... well they are just not doing anything... the pedal goes straight to the floor... if i pump them rapidly then it hardens up a lil bit but no brakes... im kinda leaning towards caliper but not sure its like theres no pressure in the lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i confirmed that it is not the brake master cylinder because i changed it out... well they are just not doing anything... the pedal goes straight to the floor... if i pump them rapidly then it hardens up a lil bit but no brakes... im kinda leaning towards caliper but not sure its like theres no pressure in the lines If it were a caliper, it would be hard immediately. Having to pump to build pressure is a typical master cylinder failure symptom. Is it leaking any fluid? Oil on the spark plug is most likely the plug tube seals leaking in down into the spark plug well. When he pulled the plug out, the oil transferred onto the plug.

xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 bleed the brakes then see what that does. also look for any loss of fluid agreed there could be air in the lines, had the same problem when i help a friend change his clutch master cylinder just never had the pressure to fully engage the the clutch to put into gear do to air in the line. once u think your done bleeding the lines keep on going til your damn foot or arm hurts then use the other til it hurts HAHAHA bleeding the brakes is alot faster than the clutch though so gl with that 1 man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 takes 5 minutes TOPS to bleed a clutch. if it takes you that long , you dont know what your doing. if your bleeding a clutch like you do brakes , your doing it dead wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
