[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1414122, member: 19880"] ^^^ +100 The lower front right piston is activated with the rear brake pedal and is frequently the culprit when it comes to ineffective rear braking. Bleed the lower front right piston pair using the rear brake pedal, followed by the rear caliper. As Ray said, that rear brake pivot is a key maintenance item (at least annually). Remove the lever from the pivot, clean thoroughly and use a generous coating of waterproof grease. I think it is VERY unlikely that the master cylinder needs to be rebuilt or replaced! [/QUOTE]
