Use a small. 2x4 of piece of wood with welding vise grips
The front is on the handle bar and the rear is on or in line with the brake peddle.
Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? Check the front flexible brake lines - they may be internally rutured and are blowing up (like a balloon) when you step on the brake
Collapse caliper(screw driver to pry caliper apart), remove brake pin plug, remove brake pin, remove pads, reverse for install
caliper froze, brake line collapse, or wheel bearing out.
Low brake fluid,worn front brake pads,worn rear brake shoes. If the fluid is low it is probably because the pads or shoes are worn and the missing fluid is in the front calipers or rear wheel cylinders. But check your brakes,stopping is much more important than starting.
I assume you're talking about the wheel brake cylinders. There is one on each wheel. The two in front clamp the brake disks. The two in back are inside the back drums.
About $400.00 each. Front and Back double.
The most effective brake is the front brake.
The most effective brake is the front brake.
That rather depends on where the front cylinders are, and what they are on.
Cylinders #1, 3 and 5 are on the drivers side, front to rear. Cylinders #2, 4 and 6 are on the passengers side, front to rear.
Did you bleed the entire brake system? First must bleed the rear right, the rear left, then front right and then front left. Don't ask me why but it is what it is. I have a 74 VW Bug
