[T3] Broken Brakes?

[j_jonik at yahoo.com (J. Jonik)]

It's pretty certain that master cylinder ('71, Std.) needs to be replaced, but today, just to get prepped to do that job...with a nicely wrapped, unrusted, good-when-salvaged-from-parts-car, master cylinder... I went around to check brake pads.  Replaced just one.
   Thought to bleed brakes just to see what would happen.  Two front valves gave nice, bubble-free squirts.  Left rear just dribbled...after an audible whiff of air.  Right rear did the little whiff of air too...but not a drop of fluid came out...despite multiple attempts.  I even let it sit a bit to see if it would just leak.  Nothing.


What does that mean?  ...That the rear brake cylinder is frozen or shot too?
