I have no idea... but ball joints are cheap, and a friend has a lift.

Did the firm feel master cylinder install today. WOW. Huge difference. I have a feeling my old master was bad (not terrible, but one circuit was probably leaking into the other). I think I will have a much bigger safety margin pulling the 3000-pound boat/trailer now. The trailer does not have trailer brakes, so it's all up to the truck.

Just out of curiosity, with a known good, stock master cylinder, if you push the pedal down with the reservoir cover off, do you get a geyser? B/c I got one with the old master. Surprised me, since that's the first time it's ever happened to me. Other cars I've done bleed jobs on don't do that.

It is SKU A0463 on Ssbc web site. Check to see if you can get a discount through the forum. I think I did.

A note. It ships with an adapter fitting screwed into the rear port. On my truck at least, that fitting is actually needed on the front port, not the rear.

The couple that I have done don't spray out like that. Weird. Must be brake fluid leaking past the cylinder or something.

 

[strad]

Yeah that was my thinking too. I had to run for a hose to wash off the brake fluid!

I bet the master was rusty and was loosing pressure
