Re: Stiff brake pedal

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The first thing to do is to flush the system with fresh Castrol GTLMA 
dot 4 brake fluid. The symptom is probably caused by contaminated 
brake fluid. After braking the fluid gets hot, boils, and "fights" 
back to cause the pedal to rise. After cooling things get back to 
normal until you use the brakes again and reheat the fluid.If you
have 
a 5 speed also do the clutch system. On your second question I think 
you need to have the fender just so you have the marker light besides 
you would be very dangerous to pedestrians and in the rain you would 
throw up alot of spray making it hard to see.You might also throw 
small rocks.
