brakes issue this arvo (ve/f caliper) now fixed

[stick3]

i notice my brake peddle was sinking slowly on my way to woolies in very heavy traffic so had to keep pumping and using the hand brake but i got there check and found a big leak from the left front reservoir was low so i thought blown hose so i rang home for a rescue

had to get all the tools jack brake fluid torches and i had new safe brake hoses to do the job and woolies car park at warabrook is well lit and wasnt busy

when i went to undo the bango bolt it was loose and after i tighten it and tried the peddle it still sank slowly so i fitted the new hose, copper washes bled and got it home but my guess is it could have been the copper washes

tomorros job is to fit driver side hose and those pia clips, new brake pads arrived today as i was planing to do the brakes next month now im cooking tea after that little work out

Replace your master cylinder.

Replace your master cylinder.

Might not be that simple. I bought the last new Ute PBR master a few years ago that was in known existence. The option now is Protex but they are an inferior unit, as is most Protex products.

I rebuilt my brakes 5 yrs ago.

For the last 3 yrs, l'm gonna change the brake fluid, but l haven't got around to it yet.

Hopefully this year?

I just use my wife to pump the pedal. She has cost me enough already so at least that way I get 20 bucks back
