    Navy-maybe you missed it in my post-you don't need to move the front calipers to the rear to see if they work proving that your rears are the culpred---just change the lines at the master or combo valve and then see if the fronts still work-that will prove/disprove wether its calipers or master issue. However, since neither rear works now, its probably something thats common to both that is wrong and if when you hook the fronts up you'll prove it.

    I have already switched lines on the MC and that had no effect on the rears I never did try the fronts to see what they do with the lines switched, I can only turn them by hand and it doesn't take much to stop them. With todays MC change I doubt its the master cyl. I will run pressure test tomorrow on both ends and see what's what. I hope. Thanks again for your help.
