![]() ![]() I never got around to fixing it because I am lazy (I guess) and the brakes were working. I suspected the master cylinder was leaking into the brake booster and the fluid was being sucked into the engine. ![]() I did notice the engine would smoke white smoke after It had been sitting long enough for the fluid to leak out of the master cylinder. I have noticed that during cold weather the brake fluid would leak from the master cylinder and I could never find a leak at either the master cylinder or any of the wheel cylinders. The other day I was trying to slow down to make a turn and I hit the brakes and the brakes woulden't lock up, the pedal depressed, the car slowed down but it felt like really bad brake fade. Got break fluid on it and its coming off.I have been working on my brakes now for a week without any success and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions that can explain why the brakes aren't working.īrakes will not lock up. Im sure theres wrenches you can use so you dont have to use the pliers to hold the wrench, but I didnt feel like buying it. Then take the socket and turn the pin to the left to adjust out, right to adjust in(atleast mine was like that). Now Slide the 8mm socket on to the pin like in the pic below, and hold on to it with your pliers. Needlenose pliers, or something along those lines. Now my pedal feels and acts pretty much like stock!Ĩmm wrench ( I cut down a cheap chinese wrench i had) If you arent happy re-adust and test again. Then I took it on the service road behind my house thats always empty and did a few different mph brake tests to make sure the brakes werent locking up to easily, etc. After I did all this, I test drove it up and down my street to see if the pedal was good(and it was). Then backed it off some until It wasnt making contact and then backed it off a tad more. Basicly untill i had to push on the master cylinder to make it go all the way on the booster. They way I adjusted mine was I adjusted the pin out and kept sliding the master cylinder on till I could feel the pin making contact. ![]() ![]() Click to expand.Now The way I did mine probly isnt the way most brake GODs would recomend, however its the way I did mine. ![]()
