If you are working by yourself, the easiest way to isolate brake problems
is with 4 pairs of vice grips.
Clamp the rubber lines outside each wheel...gently, not to damage the line.
The step on the brake pedal.  If the pedal travels when pressure is exerted
than you can be almost positive the master is the bad boy.  If the pedal is
firm, the master cylinder is good.
Releasing each vice grip in turn and stepping on the pedal is the best way
to check before going out and buying new parts.
