09 Apex no brakes after 70 miles

[rkkoeb]

Need help with my brakes. After 70 miles today I lost all pressure in the brake lever, I can pump it many times and still nothing. I did notice after we stopped for a while I was able to get brake pressure again for just s short time. Brake pads are like new, reservoir is full. Can the oil be going bad and once warm I loose brake pressure? Any suggestion on what to check or look at?

You didn't leave the parking brake on, did you?

Sounds like your brake is dragging. As it heats up you start losing braking power.

Seals on brake lever piston might be toast.

didn't leave parking brake on, if the seals are bad wouldn't I be leaking brake fluid? Brake fluid is still full.

Ok took the brake apart and found 3/4 pistons not moving. Order a new seal kit for the pistons and also found emergency brake pads were shot so order new one. What type of grease should I use on the seals and pistons when I put them back together?

Use brake fluid on the seal when installing them.
