So Ive done a lot of brakes, but this is the first time Ive experienced this one.
Had a OE MC fail, got my hands on one of the NEW 17mm units, Replaced F. calipers with rebuilt, + all the soft lines, the MC & the (Blue) res. line sections. All went as expected. No drama just the typical PITA installing the MC. Went about bleeding & got the pedal to near the point I thought I was done when testing a full pressure hold ...the pedal travel "breaks" & continues to the floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I think Ive got a leak but inspection shows its all still dry... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Can a MC fail internally? Anyone witha BTDT? |

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jul 11 2026, 05:05 PM)  Rich, Did you bleed the MC before installing? I can send you one of my aftermarket German ones to try. I did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Edit: pulled the wheel, pedal board & the cluster plunger rod .... now has .5 or more travel before it contacts the plunger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) WTH! Depressing the pedal there is a definite *break* in the travel feels like a mechanical failure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Mark Ill take you up on that offer. Now I gotta recall where this one came from.
