Put a bit more brake fluid in the reservoir, and began a bleed job with a friend on the pedal.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_3870"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_3869">Right rear valve produced just a tiny spurt of air, then just drips despite brake pedal being pushed down hard. Left rear....just drips, also with no squirt. Front right, same thing. <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_3886"> Front left, however, squirted like it's supposed to.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_3894"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_3904">So....is this hard evidence of Master Cylinder trouble? It can't be, can it, that three out of four of the rubber brake lines going to the wheels all clogged up around the same time.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_3978">About a year (?) ago I had to replace one of the front brake lines that was clogged solid. That was probably the one that worked well today. Are the others just catching up?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_4011" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_4044" dir="ltr">Then, IF it's the Master Cylinder...I have over half a dozen of them in my brake box. All came from cars where they worked at the time the parts were taken. Is it likely that they won't work after being dry and idle for years?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460922693307_4134" dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">What's the recommended plan of attack on this job?<br></div></div></body></html>
