Things have turned upside down. The rear wheel with an intact bleed nipple still has zero fluid to it. I cracked the pipe and the pipe is empty. The rear with a broken nipple is fine. The cylinder moves a little when the pedal is pushed and the line dripped when I undid it half a turn. The pedal has zero pressure. It went up a bit, but as soon as the engine was turned on it just dropped like a stone. Now it won't build up again. I undid the line of the wheel that has no fluid in it at the master cylinder end, and pressed the brake pedal. A shot of fluid came out, so the cylinder isn't at fault. I found the brake compensator, I want to undo the line to the wheel with no fluid in order to see where it's stopping, but can't get the lines undone. I don't really care about not having rear brakes, but having some brakes would be very nice! Why is there 0 pressure, the front calipers have no air in them? Surely I should get something in the pedal? Could the new master cylinder be dead, regardless of what it looks like from the outside? Or is the booster gone? Any other ideas? I just want pressure in the pedal! The car doesn't go on the road, by the way. It's a farm vehicle. |
