Default would it be possible to..............

completly remove the brake lines and master cylinder from a car without draining the system, heard that you can get problems if you drain the system and leave it dry for a long time cuz the seals can dry up?

any help will be helpfull

lol, ok, and to be a bit more helpful, my cabriolet has been off the road for 6 months, and most of that time all the brakes were off it, i didnt have any problems although i did change the brakes for cosworth ones, and the master cylinder for a larger one.

a few months shouldnt be a problem, if it was a few years and u were storing ur car in a tub of water then yeah u probably would get problems.

One piece of valuable advice....BUY A PRESSURE BLEEDER

why are you wanting to remove all the brakes anyway?
