1973 S3 88...
My brakes seem to be basically functional from what I can tell,(still on jack stands). The problem I am having is that when I try to do a final bleeding of the brakes,(with the motor running) after a couple of bleeds I get no more fluid coming out.
From what I can tell it appears that the master cylinder has not returned to rest position. The pedal does (by spring tension), however it is possible to feel when pressing the pedal that it is not 'activating' anything.
After a short period of time the pedal goes back to feeling normal.(like what ever is sticking returned ). It seems that it is ok, until I attempt to bleed, then something travels too far and sticks.
This truck sat for about 2years. however the MC looks fairly new and has clean fluid. Is it possible for the that the internal parts of the Booster are sticking?
I am suspecting the MC. As I have never come across a sticking booster.(how ever this is my first LR)just find it hard to understand why it would with clean fluid always in it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Guys
ps. I do recall that when I first got the truck and was playing around with the brakes the pedal popped 'up' higher, making me realize that it had been stuck in a half way down position, but the pedal it self is presently not sticking and moves freely.
