Default Re: 84 4kq brakes

When you say it goes to the floor, what are the specifics of this? Do you get any resistance at all? Is there fluid coming out of the calipers?

I'm assuming this is after attempting to bleed the system?

no. not a thing. I thought it was a leak, but cant find any in engine bay or calipers. I'll pump the brake to try and build up pressure but nothing happens. fluid levels are normal. thanks.

Default Start with bleeding the master cylinder...

Do this by cracking the lines loose at the master cylinder itself, one at a time. Use a 11mm line wrench for this. Bleed them as you would any other part of the system, preferably with a pressure bleeder or helper. Once the master cylinder is bled, you can continue on with the rest of the system.

Let us know how it works out.
