That's great because you will be rebuilding the entire system anyway. Replacing the master and wheel cylinders, maybe a line or two. Look at your clevis pin, pads springs and shoes as well. You are starting from zero and will work yourself up to 100 percent. My personal suggestion is to use silicone brake fluid. I know this is controversial but you will not have a problem. The DOT 3 & 4 fluids are hygroscopic.

Yes the pedal goes to the floor, 0% brakes

+1 for the clutch stuck to the flywheel.

After you get your brakes working, you might be able to brake hard to snap the two free rather than taking the engine out.

If you don't know this procedure, I'll just give the overall concept. With a clear path, get the mini running straight using the starter, then stomp on the brake pedal. How fast you get the mini going will depend on your clear path. It may take several attempts.

The clutch is most likely stuck together. With no brakes to try that method you may have to pull the clutch out just to bang it apart then put it right back in. That is doable in the car.

When you say no brakes does that mean the pedal goes to the floor of you get a good pedal but nothing works?

Hi all; I recently bought a 1965 Morris Mini woody wagon that has been in storage for some time. It runs great, but the gearshift will not engage, and the brakes don't work at all. If you put it in gear and start it it will move forward so there is a clutch installed.

I have not pulled the wheels to look at the brake cylinders yet.

The fluid reservoirs are full.

Thinking perhaps the lines are gummed up from sitting?

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks,

Steven
