Yea I think this was more of a slam your head against the wall one. I got home tonight and started pulling the master cylinder to take the vacuum booster out. After getting the cylinder out I noticed the center the bar rides in crushed over and a distinctive circle on the side and c-plip bent in. Yep the would explain the rock hard pedal and little fluid"my boy could of pushed his little heart out n got no where". The only thing I am thankful for was this was the only work this guy did before he gave up and handed it to me. Thanks for everything guys.
