Hey Everyone,
yesterday I started servicing my brakes it was in a really poor response.

I realised the brake piston was extreamly solid, so I took the front-right caliper apart. I took the brake piston out and cleaned the caliper, piston, lubricated the bolts of rust and sediments.

After I assembled everything back I test drived and hit the brakes hard and it was all fine. BUT after I done the second one there was no brake pressure at all! I checked all 4 calipers there was no leaks of any kind.

I need help bad what do u think is wrong? Do I have air in my system or is it somthing worse. Thanks

Hi procrxsi88,

Did you try bleeding the system?

Did you check the fluid level in master cylinder?
