time for a new kit? I accidently put some power steering fluid in my brake reservoir and it ate my cups up.Is your fluid black from dissolving rubber?I'm asking yall, Can these after market brake parts use synthetic? I have had bad luck with it.And did not mix that I know of.

Have you read "REAR BRAKES LOCKING" under the BRAKES forum last week by Kevin Fondren. He found a difugelty with a brand new cut brake.

I had a hard time with my brakes also. Get your cutter lower than your resevor and jack the front of ur buggy up now put a bungee on the brake pedal as tight as u can get it and leave it for a few days every so often 5/6 hours or so pull the brake back by hand and just let it sit I did this and now my brakes are great

AutoZone sells a hand pump "one man" brake bleeding system for about $35. You open the bleeder. Pump enough brake fluid through to fill the pump. Close bleeder and pour the fluid out of the pump back into the master cylinder. I have rear cutters and my wilwoods have 4 bleeders per caliper and I had my rear brakes totally bled in about 15 min. with no wasted fluid. Also that was all new parts and new brake lines, so it was alot of air. One of the best tools I have bought as far as brakes go.

I'm having problems with mine too. I have 4 wheel drum brakes and have a red pressure valve in the rear line my foot brake works fine the cutter don't work good unless I hit the foot brake first seems like i have volume issue. My master and cutter is about the same level .Its been like this for years i would just like the cutter to work better with out pumping the foot brake

I cant imagine you could ever get a good cutter until you step up to disc..

i use 1/8 plastic tubing. open the bleeders and slide the tubing over them. run the other end of tubing back into master cylinder. grab a couple beers and start pumping away. will have to add flluid a few times but always gets the job done
