i think i may have solved my brake issues but just wanted to double check what i think is causing the problem with you guys as im a newbie mechanic before i shell out for a new one.

on the brake master cylinder there are two pipes one at the top one at the bottom feeding into the pressure equalizer to run the brakes.

if i removed the top pipe from the master cylinder and pressed down on the foot brake pedal should fluid squirt out from the hole ?

im pretty shore it should but im not a mechanic so just wanted to double check.

as when i did this earlier none came out whatsoever.

which would lead me to think my master clinder is shot.

many thanks,
Jim..
