Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / August 200794 caravan brakes
after my front axles were replaced I noted my brake pedal a little low, but didnt think much of it. till today when pedal went to floor:( brake light came on too. did find back brakes very worn and both drums scored. so replaced back brakes and both drums. that didnt help so replaced master cyclinder. when attempting to bleed brakes both rear bleeders snapped off. getting new cyclinders tomorrow. but with new master theres no pedal. any good ideas? my neighbor does brakes and stuff all the time and he is stumped. 1. verify fluid level and check for leaks - repair if required. 2. start bleeding at the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way to the closest one (distance based on tubing length from master). Longest line is usually the opposite corner of the master cylinder. Closest is usually directly underneath. If the pedal does not come up during any of this process then the master cylinder is probably bad - new or not. I've opened and installed a few parts in my life that were new "and" bad.

Does *what* have antilock brakes? Signature"Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

I see. Apparently whatever it is that you're using to post to Usenet doesn't have the ability to quote the text that you're replying to. Hard to understand why someone would do things like that.

I would sugest staring by bench bleading the master cyl first |
