Hello all! I am new to the site and working on a monte carlo this old. The problem I am having is not having any brakes. All the lines are new since there is a new/old rear end in it, replaced the master cylinder due to a small leak. After it was replaced we bled the brakes and still nothing. Could it be the brake booster? We are going to the parts store and getting new calipers due to one of the bleeders are a little stripped. Any and all help would be great! thank you! -Eric

 

it could also be the wheel cylinders in the rear. i had mine leak and i had no brakes because of it.

 

Everything on the rear end brake wise is brand new. We just took off the passanger caliber and no brake fluid came out of it. Were on our way back from pep boys with new calibers so we shall see what happens I guess.

 

Wish you good luck on finding the problem...Check back on your post to see `if any of our Expert Tech member's can help....
Ran a Search on Brake Booster's to give you some idea on cost $
***a brake booster supplies power to the brake system. this takes the hard out of the brake pedal allowing brakes to work harder with less effort or pressure on pedal from the driver

did you find the problem yet? did you replace the hoses while you were in there replacing the calipers? did you bleed from the farthest away to the closest to the M/C, ie right rear, left rear, right front, left front? let us know.

 

Well the new calipers did the trick I would guess. It stopped seemed to me a little sloppy for it to stop but I dont drive it all the time I just help work on it lol. But part wise everything on the rearend is new, new lines, and new master cylinder. No we should of changed the hoses while we were doing all this. I mean does anybody make slotted rotors for the 84'?
