Miles Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Here is a website with a step by step procedure for diagnosing low pedal brake problems. One of my 240Zs has this problem even after replacement of everything but the pipes. The procedure on the website calls for using line clamps on the brake lines. Can line clamps be used on SS lines without damaging them? http://www.winbrake.com/trainingmaterials/LowPedalDiagnosis.html This web site may be helpful to those who are pulling thier hair out trying to diagnose the cause of a low pedal. It gives a good description of the ever popular missing reaction disk problem. Thanks Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I wouldn't put a clamp on my SS lines! I think if you put a clamp on they they may stay partially closed and result in less braking force. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 The SS braided brake line I've used in the past had a teflon type of liner on the inside. Clamping the hose to the point of stopping all fluid movement would IMHO permanently weaken and disfigure the. I'd not do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
