> Hey Jerry I can't help you out with the massage but I have something you
can try with your brakes. If you get a short, small diameter hose. Some of
that clear hose that they usually sell at most hardware stores will work.
You take the hose and run it into a small can of brake fluid about 3/4 full
set it up on something so as to get it close to the wheel. make sure that
the bleeder is open and the hose is connected to the bleeder. If you have
any problem with the hose not going on easily just heat it up a bit.Now when
you pump the pedal upon release you will draw fluid back into the cylinder
not air. You can do this until you go under and look to see if there are any
air bubbles it the tube. Make sure that the master cylinder does not run
dry, it does tend to run out faster than one might thing (speaking from
experience). I hope that this is not too confusing. Good luck.
