High pedal, meaning that the brake pedal does not travel downward when appl=
ying foot pressure, is indicative of wheel cylinders or caliper pistons not=
moving in their bore. The fluid in the master cylinder has less space to =
travel to and therefore remains high. Since there is more heat coming off t=
he front brakes a suspect the problem is in that (front brakes) area. I sup=

I'm going for a short ride in a little while to a destination nearby and I =
will carefully observe if the pedal gets high and hard and if the brakes dr=

If there is a collapsed line the condition should appear relatively quickly=

that might be significant.=C2=A0

I am sometimes a sucker for easy solutions....

NEWSFLASH:
After letting the car sit for a few hours I just checked the pedal and it h=
as gone back to normal with an inch or two of motion, same as it was before=
i started out this morning's drive.
At the same time i adjusted the pushrod length a few months back I also rem=

g it.=C2=A0 Given the high ambient temperatures I wonder if heat is getting=
to the MC, causing the brakes to somehow stay partially or fully activated=

During a drive today I noticed that the brake pedal is higher and harder th=
an normal and as I come to a stop it definitely feels as though the brakes =
are dragging, plus there seemed to be a lot of heat coming from the front b=
rakes.
I suspect a problem with the master cylinder but would appreciate any sugge=
stions as to what the issue and fix might be.
