some of you may have noticed that i've been struggling to get my brakes working.
well, i tore my master cylinder apart to learn what i could, and i've decided that my problem doesn't lie within. since i was going to be draining my lines i thought it would be a good time to put on the extended braided lines, so i did, and they are very sexy.
i fooled around with my booster, and have noted that it has good suction. when the master is off, with the engine running i can pull the push rod out and the vacume sucks it right back in with good force. i assume this is good, so i've decided the booster isn't the problem.
my brakes seem to feel like they are always full of air, but have been bled 4 times from every concievable location, and i don't think that is the problem.
here is what happens:
the brake pedal goes to the floor. the resivours are full. i pump the brakes frantically and the resivour goes down 1/4 inch and the brakes get hard. i stop pumping and let the brakes sit for 10-20 seconds and the pressurized system depressurizes and the fluid that was pumped out of the res' flows back in.
have any of you ever experience this?
do any of you think it might actually be my booster or master?
do any of you care?
thanks again
