[Roadsters] Loose brakes

[Pete Peters]

Sure, plenty, starting with "search the archives" as this has been discussed
many time. Awwwww, c'mon guys, you -KNEW- I was gonna say that! <g>

2. You have the dual-resevoir master brake cylinder. Are both resevoirs
empty?
3. When's the last time the brake fluid was completely flushed? This should
be done every two years.
4. Inspect the brakes (you may have to remove the wheels). Any evidence of
brake fluid leaks? Front pads? Rear linings? Rotor thickness?
5. And then there's the lovely firewall flexing/cracking where the brake m/c
mounts, but let's skip that for now.

If you find no leaks, flush and bleed and take it from there.

Cheers.

Pete

This just happened about a day ago my brake pedal goes all the way to the
floor when i step on it. On top of that it doesnt stop all that great and
the brakes lock up if i try to brake suddenly. All the pressure in the pedal
is gone. Any ideas on how to fix.

Thanks
