Would it make a difference if the e-brake is on when bleeding brakes. I can't see it making a difference, but I am unable to get a firm pedal, and I just realized that I had the e-brake on when I was bleeding. Would this contribute to a soft pedal? I'm pretty sure I still have other issues, though.

Thanks,

-probably- what you are seeing is the result of excessive venting clearance, which having the e-brake on will tend to mask...

just bled my brakes with the ebrake on and everything came out absolutely textbook. nice, firm, high pedal. i'm no expert, but seemed to turn out just fine.

good luck, nathan
