Try rebuilding the rear cylinders "in situ" and see if cleaning them up
solves the problem.

> 1. Brake pedal hard as a rock - very little movement

> 2. Jacked up the car one wheel at a time. Found:
>
> a) Passenger side rear binding - unable to rotate by hand (locked up)
> b) Driver's side rear binding - was able to rotate by hand but with
much force
> necessary
> c) Both front wheels would rotate by hand but took some force. (I'm
not sure
> how much force would be appropriate for the disk brakes).
>
> d) Handbrake cable loose at both rear wheels
>
> Accorrding to Haynes this looks like a problem in the Master cylinder
by-pass
> port.

> Any suggestions/quick fixes. "Hope springs eternal." :-) Cheers.
TIA
