thehondaguy Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 so i replaced calipers, pads, rotors and new drums and shoes on my loyale. i bled all the brakes and they pump up great BUT, when i crank it and press the brake for the first time they go all the way to the floor. im thinking this is a master cylinder, any input is greatly appreciated.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 if There are No Brake Fluid Leakage in any Wheel... There must be a Master Cylinder Failure... in this Case is Strongly Suggested to Change the Whole Main Pump due to the Wear it suffers thru the Years: it Becomes Oval. So a New Master Cylinder Kit not Necesary will Solve the Problem. Good Luck. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Well... That means that there was No Brake Fluid Leakage at All... isn't it? Good Luck! Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehondaguy Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 so after getting the master cylinder replaced, the rear wheel cylinders were bad so i replaced them and one was bad out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manetoys Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 so after getting the master cylinder replaced, the rear wheel cylinders were bad so i replaced them and one was bad out of the box. Wow. That's a good reason to do the Rear Disk swap. Not that you can't find any given part bad out of the box, but at least with Disk brakes, any leakage is obvious pretty quickly and not only seen when the leakage is MASSIVE! Just had to replace a rear drum shoe retainer pin in my wagon yesterday because it either fell out or rusted in two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
