Have you  replaced your flex lines and flushed the system anytime in

crud or  a bad flex line partially blocking fluid flow.


Hi Alan  

When I replaced the blocked piston last year I flushed out the fluid and  
replaced it. On the Brake Test both the rear brakes have the same ultimate  
efficiency when tested individually, but when the test rig measures them  
operating 
together they do not function together. The same is true of the front  brakes 
to a lesser degree as far as imbalance is concerned.
 
It is almost as if the longer pipe runs deliver less hydraulic  pressure.
 
Thanks for your reply
