weird hand brake problem

alright so I have a set up like manny's but I taped the rear mastercylinder, ran a 48' line to a 636 front brake mastercylinder, but for some reason the hb won't get any presure on it, the foot break is hard as a rock, it locks up no problem, but the hb is soft like I never bleed it at all.

fill the resivoir on the handbrake put the cap on it and put hard and fast and with in a minute or two it should be hard as a rock,then proceed to bleed the system i just did it 2 days ago and it worked like a champ

Re: weird hand brake problem

still air in the line/resy piston area or the resy/piston is trashed.
MITY-VAC is an answer to your prayers.

Re: weird hand brake problem

i would say NO , there are 2 lines right ? you have the air out of the line to feeds directly to the caliper but still have air in the line that goes to the handbrake. i dont know all this stunter stuff so im assuming how its setup.
