95 civic dx stock brakes.
So today was a nice day and I decided to change my timing belt and leaky water pump... after it took me an hour to get the crank shaft bolt off it took me 5 more hours to finish the job... so i take my car out for a drive after it warms up and everything looks good... right? wrong.
This guy in a hatch made a left on my and I slammed on my weak brakes... they are gone now... Its dark i have not been able to check if something exploded....

Has anyone slammed on the brakes and lost them?
Brakes need to be changed very low.

thanks

 

never happened to neone?

 

what do you mean gone?

if you step on the break but it sinks down, it's a bad break cylinder. And, persay if only 1 or 2 of your breaklines are gone (given they're both front, or rear) the opposite side breaks should apply.

if you just have a little more play room before your breaks apply maybe your pads are running thin? possibly need more fluid?

these are just a few things off the top of my head, but be a little more specific

 

sorry...

I couldn't brake the whole way back home...
I squished it down and nothing happened felt as if there was a hair of resistance but went all the way down.... I am going to check in the morning for leaks I stop under a lamppost to see if i left a trail but there was nothing... I will have to check in the morning
I guess this means you can't run your brakes this low??

 

hmmm, if you can't find a leak anywhere i'd say you have a bad cylinder.

 

my brake fluid keeps going down. i still haven't figured out what's leaking lol. bumpped 4 u.

 

at what rate? how often do you need to refill?

i recently only did it once. got the car in march. did a rear disc conversion last 2 months ago .

had a little mishap recently (2 weeks ago) and had to slam on my brakes. i recently just checked. my brake cyclinder/booster are leak free.
