So about a couple weeks ago, It was about 100 degrees here in michigan and my car was driving fine. THe next day i get up to go to work and drive out the driveway and i felt the brakes had no pressure but a little tiny bit but if someone was to slam on the brakes in front of me there was no way i could stop so its been sitting and i kinda just figured it was the master cylinder well im about to order it tomorrow but before i do that what do you guys think?

and where is a good place to order one i seen one here at my local advanced auto parts for $160. is that a good price

if anyone could help that would be great.

 

anybody?

 

this is what happened to me, see if there is brake fluid and if not try bleeding the system and that should help

 

Well So i went to bleed my brakes and started with the right rear and i went to bleed the nipple and no fliud came out at all.. zero, so i went to the front right and fluid came out. Now.. no fluid but the right front fluid came out? i am completely stuck on what is wrong and i bought a new master brake cylinder and i got stuck on how do we get that bitch out? that metal seperator is completely in the way? Anyone have any advice and my brake fluid has been full this whole time so i am not leaking anything.

 

Well if a brake line burst you would have the same sensation, a sinking pedal, look for any leaking fluid. I ended up replacing a burst rubber line in the front, then the master cylinder. I tried to manually bleed it with two people (numerous times), and i also tried a hand pump bleeder but I couldnt get it to bleed.. I ended up taking it to fleet farm and they bled it for me.

Oh and to get out that long bolt i drilled through the metal wall... i have heard of someone bending the metal too.. Otherwise you could disconnect the pedal and remove the wiper shroud, remove the booster and try and get it out that way but it would be a pretty big hassle and idk if it would even give you enough room.

Once you try and bleed it the order goes right rear, left rear, right front, left front.

 

Stupid question, perhaps, but how is the fluid level? Did you pressurize the system while bleeding? Is your car a stick-shift or auto?
