getting ready for the season and noticed the throw on my brake pedal to be relatively extreme... tried pumping the brake figuring its been sitting for 5-months, however did not get better...
couple of items:
1) no brake fluid on the floor
2) levels seem to be where they should be
3) did notice some dampness under the rear master (fluid)
I'm thinking this all points to a bad master cylinder... and/or need of bleeding the brakes-Thoughts?
Also,
looking at my brake pedal set-up, I noticed on side has a nut and the other doesn't ( I know I might be ignorant:doh:); am I missing a nut? the bar / bolt assy seems to have play but not to the extent of it sliding out..
Could this be the problem?
Any help or guidance is much appreciated and pictures of the brake assy would be ideal....
thanks in advance,
gino
