You will need to bleed the system. If you did not bleed the master when you installed it, if it has bleed valves, use them to get the air out...if not, step down lightly on the brake and at the same time, loosen the line fitting a bit till fluid comes out. Then, bleed rear brakes the same way using bleed screws on the cylinders or calipers. Begin at right rear, then left rear, then r/f and l/f. Don't permit the master to run dry or you will have to begin all over again. Also check all lines to make sure nothing under the vehicle is leaking. While bleeding don't take your foot off the brake till the bleeder you are working on is closed, and don't push really hard on brake as that can damage the cylinder internals.

How do i know if the master cylender is bad

You run a line clamp test. All you need is 4 clamp tools to block off all brake hoses with light pressure. Push on brake peddle if it's hard back off and push slow and light. If stays hard master cylinder is good. Hold pressure and have someone remove. The clamps

How do i bleed the brakes

you will need another person with you. take the cap off of the master cylender, and make sure it is full of fluid. start at the wheel farthest away from the master cylender. so the back passengers side, have your partner pump the brakes about 10 times and hold pressure against the brake. ( Tell them not to let off until you tell them.) loosen the bleeder, fluid and air will squirt out, tighten bleeder screw back up, ( they can now let off of the pedal). do it over a couple or three times until you get a steady streem of fluid with no air. then go to the drivers side back, then passengers front, and end up at drivers front. Keep a check on the master cylender that it doesnt get empty, keep fluid in it or you will need to start over again.. hope i explained this good enough for you to understand.. whatever you do make sure your partner knows not to let off of the brake petal, until you have the bleed screw tight, and tell them to let off.

My brakes do not stop and go all the way to the floor

You 're brake master cylender has failed.
How to change it.

Use a flare wrench and remove the two brake lines.
Then remove the the two nuts that hold it to the fire wall.
Then remove.
Then remove the master cylinder reservoir because your
going to have to put it on the new one.
Drain out any brake fluid from it.
In stall the reservoir on the new master cylinder.
Now you'll have to prime the new master cylinder.
Put the master cylinder in a vise and put brake fluid into it.
Now place your fingers over the two holes that the brake line go into.
Use a large phillips screw driver and push the piston in and out about 10 times.
But, do it slowly. make shore to keep your fingers over the brake line holes. .
Now install it back in.
Remember to bleed your brake system when your done.
Hope this helps give feedback and good luck FixYa

Brakes may be worn out and locking up. Take car to a brake shop but ask him first is there anything you can do to fix this. Don't drive without brakes.

Soft brake peddle on 1994 chevy 3/4ton truck is it the back adjuster?

You might have a leak in one of your brake lines i would look at all of the lines for a leak look at the brake drums for fluid driping out of the bottom if you dont find a leak it may be time for a brake job . a soft peddel means you have air in your system.From a leak or wore out pads or shoes or a leaking wheel cylender from wore out rear shoes . watch your master cylender to see if its low on fluid.

How do i know if my master cylender is bad?

A classic example of a failing master cylinder is the brake pedal fading(going to the floor) while sitting in traffic,i.e. at a stop light. Brakes are nothing to second guess though.Let a mechanic make the diagnosis.
