[DML] Re: Front breaks not working

["basfe25" <dmcman73@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I already did that with the flex tubes but it won't hurt to try it
again, hopefully that is all that is wrong. When I used the tubes I
fed them back into the reservoir of the master cylinder and pumped the
brakes, maybe next time I'll fill a pan up with brake fluid and place
it beneath the master cylinder with the tubes submerged into it.

To answer the question someone else asked if I replaced the flex
tubes...Yes I did, sorry I failed to mention that :) 

The front caliper pistons move very little when the brake pedal is
pressed so I know that there has to be air in there someplace.

Thanks all for the response; I'll let you know what happens when I
give it a try again during the week.
