thanks guys.. i'll look for a new MC now... and inspect the other one thats in there now...
do you think that this was the MC all along (with the car pulling to the right) or something else?

exactly how do i do this? what i have done already is pinch the caliper piston with a C-clamp and removed my pads.... i don't know if that is what this "slider" is you speak of..?Originally posted by FestYboy View Post
Then i installed the pads and pins, and pushed the pedal and the piston moved up against the pad..
one more comment.. before when the car pulled right... the right caliper was hot and the left was cold or none... so the left isn't binding up or anything...

i'm having the same problem, i was planning to just change both my master cylinder and booster.
it looks like a faul in the model.
