Looks like it's time to fix the brake master cylinder. When the brake pedal
is first depressed, the brakes grab with the pedal up high. Continuing to
press down or reapply the brakes results in the pedal slowly sinking lower.
when
I release the pressure and then reapply it, the pedal has way too much free
play, only returning to normal a short while after laying off the brake pedal.
Each time the brake is applied, I can see the pushrod moving sideways as well
as in the proper stroke direction. My guess is the seals inside are shot.
Does this diagnosis sound correct, and what's the best way to tackle
rebuilding the master cylinder without stripping my engine bay with brake
fluid? Any
recommendations for sourcing the rebuild kits?
Thanks for your help!
