it turned out when i went to take a better look in the light that the hose from the master to slave broke..where it goes from metal to hose..so i am replacing this as i assume that pushing it back in wont help becuase of its high pressure....while i pulled the master i replaced the seals again becuase it is so cheap and easy...i got the new hose for 50$..i hope i dont have any problems disconnecting at the slave end...anybody have any suggestions??...i am eithher gonna use a claw foot wrench or snape the line and get down there with a socket..any people have any other thoughts...thanks for all your help...i hope i dont have a problem with line.. brad In article <398A90AC.466A0D0AnopsamnetNOSPAM.se>, robert.brownnopsamnetNOSPAM.se wrote: > Hi Brad, > > If you were having problems with the slave seals, I'd expect that you'd see > a gradual loss of fluid at the fluid resevoir (and a little pool on the > ground). > > FatHoss' theory about the return spring sounds like a winner, but then you > say that very little foot pressure is required to put the pedal all the way > to the floor.
