Triumph Repair: 1975Triumph TR6, TR6, brake
QuestionI have a leak at the brake peddle when i depress and release coming from the rod behind the peddle. I replaced the Master cylinder blead the lines. i still have the leak just less. but i also have leak between the M/C and the booster, but its tightened up.Also, i depress the brakes on the road and it sort of rides to a stop, but i feel i blead them properly. I am not sure what to do
AnswerMartin,
Are you saying you have a fluid leak from the master cylinder? Fluid dripping down into the footwell?
Before you replaced the m/c did you keep having to add brake fluid?
Sounds like the brake booster has filled up with fluid. That happens when the m/c seals start leaking, the fluid goes into the booster and destroys it.
That'd also explain the feeling that the brakes aren't working well.
Cheers,
Jim
