My brake pedal went to the floor and my E brake did not work. My son-in-law replaced the master cylinder, but it still will not work. I was reading the steps in your comments about a 1/2 10 truck about the bearings and bearings and the hubs, hubs are different from the drums, correct?

Hi,

Drums are different than hubs. When the new Master Cylinder was installed, was it bled properly? Also, are there any leaks under the vehicle that you, see? Is the brake fluid staying full?

Take a look through this link and let me know if it helps. Also, let me know what all has been done to this point. For example, was the new master cylinder bench bled? Also, was the system bled?
