Kees--
That is about the procedure I envisioned following.
Since there has never been any pulling to one side I doubt the failure is
at one particular corner, but the hoses are at least 15 years old and
deserve replacement. I replaced the MC innards with a kit a year or so ago
but will go through it again and replace as necessary. I'll also flush the
system thoroughly.

<p>Go through each component one by one. Start with new brake hoses
if they are still the old fashioned rubber/textile construction.
How old are they by the way? Probably decades so renewal was
probably well overdue. Also flush the entire brake system with
fresh brake fluid as there may be some debris in it somewhere.=C2=A0
Try again and if solved it may well have been collapsed inner wall
of one or both of the tubes. If not solved adjust the rod on the
MBC. Still not solved, renew or overhaul the MBC and adjust the
rod. <br>
