Something happened where i lost all my brake fluid in my car... i had to make it the rest of the way home so i drove with no fluid/brakes for a while. I added fluid in, and its staying full and not leaking anywhere, yet when i push down on the pedal i still get no resistance or grabbing. A friend said that there is probably alot of air trapped in the lines from using the brakes empty, and it needs to be "purged". i got the instructions on doing so, but i want to get some more opinions before, in case something like this could cause problems if not done correctly. Could this really be the case that it simply needs to be purged, i mean the job looks somewhat easy. One more note, i will admit i cant even remember the last time i checked my brake fluid, so this could have been a real gradual loss, not instantaneous, in which case i would assume the problem to be a ruptured hose or line or something... thanks in advance!
