Did you check if your brake lines are leaking anywhere? Did you bleed all 4 lines? Go to http://www.binghamtonlife.com/manual/2gsm/brakes.htm and do the tests to try to narrow down what it might be. My brakes were pretty mushy....they barely stopped my car when I had the pedal on the floor and it turned out to be the master cylinder, but I also rebuilt the rear drums and flushed all the brake fluid and such.

Re: Brake` Failure` please` help

Sounds like a dead Master Cylinder. Undo the 2 bolts that hold it on your Booster and see if fluid is pouring out the back of it. Your seals are probably dead.

Re: Re: Brake` Failure` please` help

If the master cylinder is bad & leaking, it could leak into the brake booster & that would also have to be replaced. Anyone who has ever changed the booster know HOW BIG OF A PAIN IN THE ASS IT IS, all because of a stupid cotter pin.

Keyboards are pretty cheap, next time aim the other way, lol.
