Listers
A beautiful evening in Grand Rapids, off to a concert with my
(skeptical) wife who says: do you have your cell phone (in case of a
break down). Half way there the brakes turn to mush. Got home, timing
lights perfect. Looked under the hood and the brake fluid reservoir was
EMPTY. Filled it up pumped the breaks many many times and there was not
a drop of fluid on the floor of the garage, frame of the car or any
wheels. Where did go???
I assume it is in the Servo. Does this mean seals are all bad and now
the diaphragm is bad too? Does this mean a $300 rebuild ??
Now to the questions. Has anyone used Apple Hydraulic for a rebuild??
If so how did they do? Are there others out there that rebuild master
cylinders and biisters? Would you risk a used servo and master cylinder
off Ebay? If you do a rebuild does one get the brass sleeves or go with
the over sized holes and pistons?
Excuse my rambling but I had to get this out. Oh yeah my wife does not
know the breaks went out.
