Earls stainless hose
i am having a brake issue and i thought it was the booster. i changed the booster and i changed the master. still no luck. my brakes just wont hold. i also have a sloppy peddle. some one told me that some times the lines will have a crack in them and that it would cause a loss of pressure. i have Earls stainless hose. i don't have a leak so can i say that that is not the problem. i am going crazy here with this issue. i am trying to hit the track on the 1st and i cant heat up my slicks or have a good launch if i don't figure this out. any ideas guys.

Re: Earls stainless hose
when you get a m/c you put it in a vice. it comes with two fittings and two hoses. put the fittings in put on the hoses and have some one hold the hoses in the receiver. fill the receiver and take a screwdriver and push on the back of the master. this is to put fluid through out the master.

Re: Earls stainless hose
Is there any way to bleed it while it is still on the car? I have the same issue as the OP and have bled the brakes with no change.

Yes, jack up the car so the MC is level. The problem is air gets trapped in th high spots and the feed hole to the reservoir is lower. Then remove the brake lines and attach some short ones (fab yourself, or use hoses and those push in plugs but that's always a messy business when I do it, I prefer bent hard line) and slowly pump the pedal with the cover loosely on the MC, rubber removed. This to keep fluid from spraying over the engine bay and body work.
