Hello,

I've just replace disk and pad front brake focus zx5 ses 2005.
Now brake at all pedal on the floor no more break...i bleed check brake fluid.
I thought it could be the master cylinder busted out...before i do the break job everything was fine. Its abs break.
Any clue?
Should i replace master cylinder.?
thank for help.

Did you use at least 12oz (or more) of new fluid during the bleeding process? Did you do it in the proper order (starting with the corner farthest from the master cylinder, then the next farthest, etc.)? If not, definitely re-bleed the entire system. How did you do the rebleeding process? For a better job, remove all the old fluid (use turkey baster or some kind of suction devise) from the master cylinder first and refill it with fresh fluid then start the bleeding process. Did you possibly let the Master cylinder go dry while bleeding? If this happens you can't just top it up, you have to start all over again as air gets trapped in the system.
