The rear brake just completely stopped working all of a sudden. I put another master cylinder on it and have bled the brakes and the rear brake still isn't working. I've noticed the piston in the caliper isn't moving, so maybe it's the rear caliper?  I've been told it could still very be the master cylinder, it could be that we (me and two friends) didn't get all the air out of the line even though we bled the rear brake all day and then some after putting another master cylinder on it. I'm not mechanically inclined...I'm frustrated with it as it is. I know I can do more troubleshooting...I know I can get a rebuild kit for the caliper to save money, but that is moot at this point. I don't feel like fucking with all that anymore and just want a working rear brake.

Could you explain how your bleeding it I have found many people think they know how to bleed brakes until they try it and then find out they don't.
Brakes are really very simple. If you push the brake lever down does it move? If it moves does it go all the way down very easy. |

Totally not the thread I thought it would be from the homepage.
 It shows up as "Rear Master..." on the hompage.

The 08 SV is ABS so be sure to verify that they interchange. I doubt it though.
