1990DL 240 non ABS brake problem 200

1990 dl 240 wagon NON ABS


Recently my wagon, got a soft brake pedal and the brake failure light

came on. I have a Motive power bleeder, so I pressurized the system and

it held pressure for 15 minutes. So I bleed the brakes (actully I

replaced all the fluid with DOT 4). What bled out was, rust colored, I

bled until it ran clear with no bubbles.

I got some air out of the RR and not as much out of the LR. No air from

RF and LF. No change, in the condition. Bled everything again, still no

change.

So should my next step be replace the master cylinder? If yes, anyone got

any suggestions about replacement brand?

THANKS IN ADVANCE
