I own P/2171. I am experiencing braking problems. There is absolutely no pedal resistance when pressing for the first 2-3 inches. I get limited braking when the pedal gets pushed all the way.
I went through a brake bleeding process. The front brakes bleed properly. However, no fluid comes out of the bleed nut on either rear brake.
It appears as though I am only getting the use of front brakes when driving the vehicle.
I have a lock nut on the brake bias bar. I don’t believe it has changed over time, and it looks OK.
I think I must have a defective rear Wilwood master cylinder.
Installing a new master cylinder looks very complicated.
Could someone please direct me to thread(s) describing the procedure; provide some general guidance; or suggest some other possible reason for the problem.
Thanks, Don in Maine (had the car for 5 years but still a rookie)
