Re: Brakes Failed
I got all the Brake lines, pads, and rotors replaced. It ended up my Master Cylinder was not defective, it turns out the stainless braided brake lines from the master cylinder to the ABS pump failed. One of them busted. I went ahead and replaced the Master Cylinder since it was all apart. The lines I had custom made since they are NLA from GM. Thompkins Industrial made the lines and it was around $97 for both lines. Highly recommended. They did a great job.
I finally got around to bleeding the brakes today. I put in speed bleeders all the way around. These are a must have for any car. I am sold. I don't know why I waited so long to buy these. It took just under an hour to flush/bleed the entire brake system.

Re: Brakes Failed
looking good, you'll have to give us a review on your "new" braking system, they should stop on a "dime" for sure!!!

Re: Brakes Failed
Went for the first little test drive and the BRAKE light is still on. What causes this to come on? It has been on ever since my brake line burst.
