anyone got ideas why i dont have any? had a leaking wheel cyl. that didnt help when i replaced it, tech at work said master cyl, that didnt help after i replaced it…this was just out of random after i put bad gas in my car…i let it idle after putting good gas in and then i hop in to take it for a ride, go to stop at the end of my driveway, and where do i go? right out into traffic ---

ya may have a hung caliper slide or the wheel cyl came off the pad and let go ya need to get it apart and see …your best bet is to bleed the whole car out and make sure ya pushin fluid out of all the bleeders wit some pressure if not ya may have lost the master ---

check the rubber flexible lines for internally collapsing. easiest way is to loosen them at the caliper and pump the brakes. did you bench bleed the master? it should be done this way, especially a dry one. the slides are probably hanging up, unless you knew enough to wire wheel/ grease them good.
