Yippee brakes again! The yuck that came out of the line was disgusting will need to bleed the rest of the lines too...but at least they work much better now!!!
Now to fix the bowden cable I just broke But the car does not shift thru all gears before 30mph now! yea, it moves now!!! I get up to 3500-4000 rpm now before shifts....hard....I thought something really bad was wrong.......it was the bowden cable yea cheap part

I had to remove the Brake Booster when I changed the Front Sway Bar Rubber Bushings.
What I found is that on US models on the upper left there is a Bracket with a hole in it that your Extension and Socket can go through. See pic.
