Q: I need to replace the master cylinder brake on my 1988 Grand Marquis
I just recently had a brake line break, well I think it broke, the pedal just kind of felt a push like it broke something or soemthing to that effect & almost went to the floor then graudally I lost brake fluid & brakes were not working since no pressure. I replaced both front & middle brake line & bled them & made sure everything was tight but still leaking fluid & no pressure at all even with fluid now. I don't know what to do, someone I know says its the master brake pump thingy. So how do I replace that??? HELP!
