I have replaced my front brakes pads and rotors due to being worn. About 70 miles later my pedal goes to the floor. Pump the brakes does not build any pressure. There are no leaks the master cylinder is full. I put the car on a hoist and the passanger front wheel is the only one that works. Would this be the master cylinder?
thank you

Sounds like it or air in system I'd go with master first. Here is a guide to help you replace the brake master cylinder
