    what to replace on rear break?

    I think I compressed my rear break to hard and damaged something and am wondering what I need to replace from this parts list on my zx6r.

    What makes you think you damaged something? Meaning what are the symptoms?

    rear master cylinder seals are gone? If you purged the lines and it still has no resistance, the fluid is somehow getting around the master cylinder piston.

    You can BREAK (to damage beyond repair) the BRAKES (the hydraulic mechanical system used to stop or slow a vehicle)

    Check the easy stuff first. Air in the line? Rear master leaking? etc.

    BTW, why are you using the rear brake so hard that you would be damaging it???

    This.... if it's a BREAK, you should probably replace it.

    Re: what to replace on rear break?

    I would do a full fluid swap on it, bleed them normally. Then if you still have no braking I would agree with master cylinder seals. My only problem with this is that you really have to mash your rear brakes to damage them, and far beyond locking the rear wheel up. What were you doing?
