brake fluid gone, front caliper is shot...what now?
Hi All,
I haven't been here in a while. I wish I could say it's nice to be back but it's not...I have brake problems. The pedal hit the
floor with my 3 year old in the car and I had to drive 5 miles home using a downshift/E brake method...it worked thank goodness. I started poking around and saw the master cylinder was bone dry...then I (i think) found the culprit...front passenger side caliper. Tire and some parts drenched in brake fluid. check out the pic. My question: do i replace the entire caliper? or is that brake line connector a separate part? The truck is 20 years old...should I replace all four calipers and the lines?
yes agree as the system in empty nows a good time to overhaul it 100% so you have good safe brakes for the next few years, and get into the habit of walking around the car checking it over once a week, for leaks, and on your drive
