it sucked bad
drove the scout to work and at lunch on the way homei could tell it was having less and less power
when i pulled over brakes on drivers front was blazing hot so I tried to get home(only a 1/2/ mile to home and she wouldnt even make it up hills so I pulled over,jacked it up in the front,took off the wheel and the rotor wouldnt even turn at all.
Only after i unscrewed my brake line from the caliper and had fluid squirt everywhere did i relive the brakes pressure.

I am thinking this is the master cylinder gone bad

I gues I'll find out tomorrow

I have all new stainless steel brakelines so i doubt thats it but I think its the master cylinder brecause they all had too much pressure on them not just that one
and also after i took off the line and drove home with no brakes all the others turned freely
