   While checking and cleaning the brakes I was interrupted and on returning I   
   pushed the brake pedal by hand without a rear drum installed. Naturally the   
   pedal went in all the way. I checked the wheel cylinder boots, found no   
   fluid, installed the drum and vacuum bled all 4 brakes. Now the brake pedal   
   goes to the floor with only spring resistance. Using a broomstick, cord and   
   pulleys to press the pedal, no fluid comes from a disconnected master   
   cylinder port though it can be vacuum bled freely. BTW the master cylinder   
   flare nut thread is 10mm-1.0 while the wheel cylinders have inch thread.   
      
   Yearly LPS-3 let all the bolts loosen but the master cylinder is frozen to   
   the booster so I haven't checked if the pushrod moves, maybe tomorrow the   
   Kroil will have freed it. I don't know if my back can take the contortions   
   of crawling under the dash to check the linkage there, which was pushed   
   beyond normal though with only one hand.   
      
   Has anyone else had a similar problem with an early 90's Ford Ranger or   
   Explorer?   
   TIA, jsw
