RE: [DML] Re: Front breaks not working

Steve, There is a rubber seal that over the years has somewhat bonded it's
self to the servo booster. Just keep working with it to break it loose.
There are no more bolts.

I already did that with the flex tubes but it won't hurt to try it
again, hopefully that is all that is wrong. When I used the tubes I
fed them back into the reservoir of the master cylinder and pumped the
brakes, maybe next time I'll fill a pan up with brake fluid and place
it beneath the master cylinder with the tubes submerged into it.

To answer the question someone else asked if I replaced the flex
tubes...Yes I did, sorry I failed to mention that :)

The front caliper pistons move very little when the brake pedal is
pressed so I know that there has to be air in there someplace.

Thanks all for the response; I'll let you know what happens when I
give it a try again during the week.
