Evolution in action?
What do you mean by you can't get any fluid?
What type of brake job did you do? Just pads, or did you mess with
the calipers? What exactly did you do/replace/mess with?

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
Problem found, a piece of the old master cylinder found it's way into the
proportioning valve and was blocking the line. Of course I started
disassembling from the calipers and worked my way almost to the new master
before I found it. It's funny this didn't happen when I flushed the system
before I decided to replace the master. Any chance that the problem was with
the new unit even after bench bleeding it? In any case a big THANK YOU to
everyone for the help.RLH
