Checked out the rear and pretty much everything is shot. One cylinder is leaking. Still think the master cyl is toast.
Kind of in a shitty situation. My accords transmission is fucked and needs to be replaced. Been deciding what to do with that.. 1200 for a used one + install (not sure if i'll be able to do it or if i'll have to take it in)and risk it not working. Or spend 2500-4000 for a rebuild.
The van is my only transportation atm. Think if I replace the master cyl it'll help fix the issue at least to where it's driveable? Front brakes seem to be good, rears are shot. If I run the risk of something in the rear seizing up and it'd be unsafe to drive I won't fuck with anything. But think I could get a little more use out of it for the 20-40 bucks spent on the master cyl?
if you have a leaking cylinder on the rear there is absolutely no point in putting a master cylinder on if you arent going to fix the leak first. fix the leak then bleed each brake to make sure none have air in them. after that change the master cylinder. dont half ass the thing that keeps you from slamming into other vehicles or objects.
