Re: IML: Filling Awkwardly Placed M/C Res.

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

You can fill the small and awkwardly placed chamber easily by 
purchasing a small funnel and a new length of hose about a foot long 
that will fit on the end of it. Getting the lid off isn't that 
difficult, and you can use the funnel with the hose attached to it to 
easily fill the M/C, slowly to the proper level. If your car has Auto 
Pilot, you may want a longer hose to attach to the funnel, and fill it 
slower to keep from overflowing.

HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 60, AND YES IT WAS THE M/C.

NOW I HAVE A TASK IN BLEEDING THE AIR OUT AS THE PEDEL GOES TO THE 
FLOOR !

SOME SAY START AT THE NEAREST WHEEL OTHERS AT THE FARTHEST ?

SO FAR NO JOY.... ANY INFO ON GETTING THE PEDEL BACK UP WOULD BE A 
RELIEF.

THANKS.

THE SMALL AND AWKWARDLY PLACED CHAMBER IS PROVING A PAIN...

 Hi Bill,
  
           My first guess from your info is that the master cylider 
needs to be rebuilt or replaced. It sounds like fluid is leaking past 
the seals and you are losing pressure.

List,
  
 
  
A problem surfaced today on my 1968 Crown Coupe, as you might guess, it 
concerns the brakes.   This car has always had excellent brakes, which 
never caused a problem, until today.  Here is what happened today, the 
car had good brakes at the start of the drive, but when I stopped for 
any reason, stop light, etc, noticed that the brake pedal would slowly 
sink toward the floor from the pressure of my foot.  At first, a couple 
of rapid pumps gave a hard pedal, but then the pressure of my foot 
again caused the pedal to go lower, which allowed the car to creep 
forward.  Just as I arrived home, had hardly any brakes left at all, 
more pumping of the brake pedal had no effect.  Of course, I checked 
the master cylinder for fluid level, and found both compartments full 
to the brim, The engine runs smooth, which makes me doubt if there is a 
vacuum leak.   I need your suggestions as to what caused this problem 
and the fix you might recommend.  I have owned this car for fourteen 
years and the calipers had been converted to stainless steel sleeves 
prior to that.
