300C Power Brakes

["Ed/Jan Hermes" <ehermes@xxxx>]

Thanks to all that responded with possible cures for power brake "shuddering". I received several messages from people that are experiencing the same problem that requested sharing with the rest of the Club.

Here's a summary:

- A common characteristic for cars that are not driven daily.
- Air in the system, bleed brake lines.
- Blowback into the master cylinder.
- Bad wheel bearing or tie rod ends.
- Linkage needs to be adjusted.
- Most often suggested remedy...check brake fluid level !!!

Now I need someone to tell me how to get to the master cylinder to check the level. Seems like it would take a contortionist to get to the cap which, of course, is located under the booster "accordion"....how the hell do you get to it ???

Thanks again,
Ed Hermes
