Brake Lines

Alright 1gn has no back brakes. It has fluid going all the way back to where the metal line meets the rubber line. The fluid doesn't get from there to the end of the brake line where it meets the Caliper.

Disc brakes, both sides are doing it, rubber lines look good, front brakes work good, pedal feels good, master cylinder is new.

Your brake hoses need to be replaced. The hoses are swelling up inside and restricting the flow. I've seen this on a couple of 1st gens already.

I would recomend doing all 4 hoses btw.

That's what I figured. Just weird they both do it. I bought new ones tonight. The hoses came from the rear disc swap so they aren't the same age as the front.

My buddy just went through this on his 95. He tried to get away with just the left front. The next day he had to do the right front. The following week he did both rears.

The hoses were installed at the same time and see the same amount of use, so it make sense that they will fail at about the same time.
