Well I changed out both master and slave and whatta you know. Same problem. Bled out the system and blew out the steel line so i opted for a teflon/steel braided hose to run the entire length. Installed it and that fixed it. So it must have been the corroded line or the rubber hose broken down...

I removed the master and checked it out, seems ok, piston moves smoothly so I reinstalled it and flushed the line. Removed the slave and flushed it out. Piston seemed to move smoothly so I reinstalled it. Bled a little and #### still very hard pedal. And oh ya i pulled the access cover on the...

Found an nearly all original 1978 FJ with a 2f. Wondering what would be the best thing to put in the cylinders before firing it? Hasn't run in about 8 yrs.
