[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3697320, member: 44288"] As with any troubleshooting adventure, there are procedures to follow. Divide and conquer. 1. The brakes did work correctly at one time 2. After a period of time, the brakes stopped working 3. Was there any occurrence that happened just before the problem? 4. Was the problem a gradual problem or all of a sudden failure? 5. Divide the work into smaller pieces, Hydraulics, mechanical. 6. After working on the hydraulic system, the problem still exists 7. Apparently the work performed was not the fix of the problem. 8. You have now to work on the mechanical. 9. Divide and conquer! Were the symptoms you describe the reason for the master cylinder rebuild? After the rebuild, the same symptoms exist, or are they different, or maybe a bit better? You said that you replaced all three hoses. Are any of the hoses kinked? This would cause a kind of a check valve effect. Your brake master pressure would easily overcome the blockage but the kink is not overcome by the lack of backpressure. Have you checked the function of the brake pads and pistons? Are they sticking? Apparently, they release after you bleed them. Do they release immediately or gradually? [/QUOTE]
