look under your master cylinder and see if it is leaking.

also, push on the brake pedal and hold your foot on it, see if it slowly goes to the floor

hmmm, like does it pull all the way up and not work or does it pull up normally and just not stop the car?

check the rear calipers for leaks too

Post by **sinner240** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

it doesnt work at all. it felt kinda like no resistance when i pulled it up too.

Post by **navysnail** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

Post by **sinner240** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

what if the cable loosen how can i fix it?

Post by **navysnail** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

there is an adjustment on the handle of the e-brake handle, use a 10 mm socket

Post by **sinner240** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

oh i tried that one but it desnt do anything. ive tighten it and pull the e-brake, car still rolling

Post by **navysnail** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

but does it stop the car from rolling when you park it?

the e-brake really isnt that strong for stopping the car

There could be an adjustment screw at the caliper like on Toyotas. Also make sure you don't have a break in your e-brake cables, that they're bolted into the caliper, that the rear calipers aren't seized, etc.

Might wanna check around your hard lines that run under the car to find your leak also.

Post by **navysnail** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

were is it leaking from

Post by **sinner240** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

break booster cuz i saw some kinda oil on the ground. i wiped under that booster and it was wet. its gonna be pricey.

Post by **sinner240** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

i think its leaks from the spot that master cylinder connected to booster.

i got my mc for like 180 at napa ( couldnt afford oem at 330). make sure you get the bench bleeding kit when you buy it too. ill see if i can find mine and send it to you if you want ( the bench bleeding kit)

Post by **180fan** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

got my bmc from kragens for 70 or something

Post by **hotshot240sx** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:43 am

yeah make shure you bleed the MC before you install it... and follow it up by bleeding your whole brake system... start from caliper furthest away from cylinder and slowly work yourself forward...
