    My brake peddle is going almost all the way to the floor. It happened all of a sudden, after it was sitting overnight. I tried bleeding the brakes all the way around and now I'm in the process of changing the rotors and the pads.. Could it be my master cylinder? If so, are they easy to rebuild or should I buy a new one? If I do buy a new one, how hard are they to put in??

    And if it helps I have no e-brake. It was removed when the bags were installed.

    the seals in the master probably went poop. they are easy to replace, 2 bolts hold it to the brake booster and the 2 lines coming off it just need to be taken off. then you need to bleed it...a well trained monkey could do it.

    make sure to properly bench bleed the master cylinder. If you don't know how to do it read up and watch some videos via youtube.

    i actually just did this yesterday with an identical problem, changed the master cylinder and was good to go again, autozone price for a brand new one with a new resovoir was $97
