Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
Did you break a steel line or a rubber hose?
Check eveything out, while you are at it? I've had the same thing happen. Luckily it was a rear hose and I limped home on my front brakes. Keep us posted on your progress.

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
start with the Master Cylinder and booster though... then check the rubber lines, wheel cylinders and last the steel lines.
There are pre-bent systems (inlinetube) and some guys love them while other cuss at them... $200 for a stainless system with ends is hard to beat though.

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
I just got my set from inline tube yesterday. Had them installed in a couple of hours. They're pretty nice.

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
I bend my own too, but I buy the 25 foot roll and cut it to fit exactly. I have recently found that AutoZone carries the nickle/copper alloy tube. WOW that stuff is nice!

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
Um, no. Some where there is a terminology break down. The brake system has no slave cylinder. Was it a vacuum booster/MC combo? Or MC/Proportioning valve combo? Or better, pics.

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
On drum brakes, the brake cylinder in the drums are often referred to as a slave cylinder. In hydraulic systems, regardless of application, master and slave names are commonly used. Master is the cylinder that applies pressure to the system and any cylinders that are moved by this pressure would be slave cylinders.
In auto applications, you commonly hear slave being used for a clutch system but it would be a correct term for the wheel cylinders, just not common.

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
In shop class i learned it referred to as both slave cylinder and wheel cylinder. Hence the term "master cylinder" it was the larger of the brake cylinders and the smaller was the "wheel" cylinder or slave cylinder.

Re: this sucks lost my brakes at a stop light
ok i will straighten this out for you i got a little confused.
The slave cylinder reservoir is apart of the master cylinder one side goes to the brakes and the other goes to slave cylinder. Here is a picture of it |
