87manche Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 check the master for fluid. Even if you had a leak, the front and rear circuits don't share a resovoir, so one or the other should have worked. I lsot the rears completely one day, the pedal was odd, and I only had front brakes. anyway, enough of that. What happens when you press the pedal, does it slowly sink to the floor? Try stabbing at it hard and fast, if that works then I'd suggest you have a master cylinder problem. If the pedal is hard as a rock then the booster is likely died, or the vacuum hose has fallen off. Of course, you should inspect all of the hard and soft lines, and don't forget to take off the rear drums, in case you popped a wheel cylinder.
