I got cut off yesterday and hit the brake. I didn't stop until I pulled the e-brake. I got towed home and check for broken lines. Called a friend and he told me it might be the Master Cylinder. Changed it and bled all brakes. Go to turn the car on and pedal goes soft again like the night before. Turn the car off to check if I pump the brakes does it make pressure, it sure did. But with car on, the pedal goes soft.

Did you try pumping the brake to see if you did get some pressure back? Did you follow the correct procedure for bleeding all the lines and the master cylinder?

 

So it sounds like just your front brakes then. Make sure to check the lines coming from the calipers.

 

Yeah, I did. Do you think I should go and do it again?

How do you figure? The handbrake is a cable driven brake not hydraulic! Check the vacuum lines going to the booster.

 

I checked for leaks. But is there anything else I could do to those lines?
