Hey everyone, After I got my front rotors and pads and rear wheel cylinders replaced (all OEM parts) a couple months ago, my brakes are doing this wierd thing. When I press the brake pedal in, it goes down quite far and the brakes do not grip as they should. When I push the pedal down, bring it up, and push it down again, the brakes grab real hard. My friends suggested that it was the master cylinder (I sure hope not because of the price), and that was also my mechanics first impression. I took it back to him and he bled the system again, and then said how it was my emegency brake cable not functioning properly. My knowledge was that the emergency brake is a mechanical device and not related to the hydralics at all.� Anybody know what this could be? Or maybe just an explanation of how the e-brake works? Or how I could service it myself? Thanks a lot Adam 1986 Vanagon GL
