If the pedal goes to the floor, the M/C is bad, period, :p

Air will cause a mushy pedal but WILL NOT cause the pedal to drop like a rock. I would also replace both wheel cylinders, best to do them...

Sorry to hear but glad your here to tell the tale.

I used to rebuild them for the saggy brake pedal, we NEVER touched the bores. :thumb:



It was aimed at the general public. Some guys shouldn't even pickup a wrench, but they have other skills,...

True enough but I bet the ratio is backyarders, 80%, licensed 20%. Maybe you could take a course on brakes, thats all it would take. :thumb:

I take alot of flack for saying that but the stuff I see roll in my shop, it scares me. You never know if there behind you or someone/child walks in front of them and they can't stop the vehicle due...

Hahhahaa, haven't heard that one in a long time, :eyebrows::clap:




Because were not really regulated. If it was up to me, I would have it so that you need a license to buy brake parts.

Which unless you take it apart, you'll never know, :eyebrows:

Nothing wrong with rebuilt calipers, as they usually replace the piston, which is the part that gets worn. Remanned wheel cylinders are just as bad as rebuilt MC's as the bore takes the abuse.
...

Here, here. :amen:

Dont' forget Steve, parts are sourced and built all over the world. Just because its built in China, doesn't make it bad. :D

Also, sure your going to get a bad new part once...

I still have to pick up my Cardone one, but so far, every Cardone product I've bought, has been US made.

I've lost many a job for refusing to install one or supply one on my customers cars.

I stickied it in this section, it will get more traffic here than in the KC, :amen:

Its common knowledge in the auto industry. They should be outlawed.

You can sometimes get away with it on the older cast iron type but the aluminum ones, nope.

Its been brought up on this...

I don't know if I made myself clear-

NEVER EVER BUY A REBUILT MASTER CYLINDER



:amen:

No, I never use a rebuilt, durrr!!!!!!! ;)

See Birddogs thread and I am tired and scared of repeatly seeing people buying rebuilt units.

I am posting this as some people are still under the impression that saving a few dollars is worth it, its NOT. Rebuilt master cylinders will fail either right away or very soon, this can either...
