Brakes

Asked by Jesse Oct 02, 2017 at 07:28 PM about the 1995 Dodge Stratus ES Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So, I noticed one day that my emergency brake
light came on and my brakes became awful. So I
checked my fluid and it was empty so I looked at
my tires and I noticed brake fluid leaking from the
back right tire so I bought a new brake drum
cylinder and I went to go replace the part and when
I took the drum cover off I saw what you see in the
picture. I'm not a car guy but my brother is. I called
him and told him what I saw and he said just
replace the part so I did. And when I put the cover
back on and I was about to bleed the brakes when I
pushed the brakes and i heard a pop. I took the
drum cover off again and it looks like the brake
pads pushed the piston off the cylinder. Any ideas?

clean it up and put it back in , something must be out of place for the disc to pop out , , if the master went dry you may have to bleed the master and then the lines
