New mc, new pads and rotors--still no brakes! 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be jim on  Tue Aug 3 05:04 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I agree with DeWayne, probably a leaking caliper that should be replaced.

Also check the ground in the general area below the MC for leaking brake fluid, if you find some that might mean a bad brake line junction box. This is located well below the MC on my "90", I assume it is the same on your "84".

My junction box went after I bleed the system following a rear brake overhaul - new calipers, rotors and pads. Think I damaged the seals when doing a manual brake bleed, similar problem to what DeWayne described with his MC.

Check it out and report back.
