thought my rear brake pads were bad so i ordered new ones and put them on. still nothing so i unhooked the brake line coming from my master cylinder and pushed the brakes and nothing came out. theres brake fluid in the resevoir. my question is this a bad master cylinder and if it is does anybody have a good one for sale?

what you can try i keep the cap off the ressi and open the bleeder and it will gravity feed, make sure you keep the ressi full of fluid. This is the way i got all the air out of mine and it works great. It flows very slow but you will see it drip out of the bleeder screw. Do not pump the pedal.

i'll try that but if that doesn't work is it probably the master cylinder? i probably need to get ahold of 03 orange shee he seems to have 4 of every part for a z lol.

You can also rebuild it with a rebuild kit from Dennis Kirk. Buy the warrior rebuild kit. I did this 3 years ago when my master was doing the same thing.
