fishwater71 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I know bleeding brakes can be a real challenge. I recently picked up a 2000 model banshee for 650 bucks. It runs great,but some general maintenance has been overlooked. Anyway, I bought some +2+1 a arms and some braided front brake lines. Front brakes seemed to work decent before. I cannot get the master cylinder to pump fluid into the new lines at all. I even removed the lines and banjo bolt from the master cylinder itself and tried to pump straight out the master cylinder itself.......nothing. Do you guys think it is the master cylinder? Would a rebuild kit fix this? With some other stuff I have found it wouldn't surprise me if it does. Just not sure why it worked before though and now won't pump. Thanks.

Guess I should get another one. Give it a shot before rebuilding the master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishwater71 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Changing out brake pads has led to bearing replacement in one hub, taking apart, cleaning calipers and putting them back together, removing clutch cover and replacing impeller, gear and oil seals, installing new a-arms and brake lines. Many of the screws for the clutch cover were already stripped out so I had to drill 4 of the screws and use a ez out. LOL. Ahhhh, good times.
