the rear caliper on my 300ex had some badly worn pads on it. I was pulling in my driveway and I pushed the pedal and it had pressure for a second and then it went right to the bottom like I lost all pressure. I checked my caliper and fluid was leaking out of where my e-brake goes into the caliper. I don't think it blew a line but I can't get the screws out of the fluid reservoir until I drill one screw out (stripped it). I tried everything to push my piston back in but it wouldn't go so I hit it with a hammer and after 20 minutes of pounding its finally went in far enough. I know I shouldn't have done that but it was the only option at the time. anyways what could be the problem? do i need to rebuild my caliper or my master cylinder?
