I have 4 beautiful rebuilt calipers thanks to Eric and PNB . I have already used 2 quarts of fluid and the pedal is still soft.
I have been very careful to bleed in the proper order with no air being introduced. The back calipers close nicely during the pumping and the fronts move a little. I did note someone mentioned bleeding the proportioning valve. I have no leaks anywhere!! Is it time to replace the master cylinder or am I giving up too soon. I also have an an old pedal cluster that I may owe someone as a core replacement. Let me know if it is you or I can send it to anyone with the best advice that can use such a mess. thanks George Wilmington,DE |

I had all new lines and rubber. It seems to take forever to get all the air out. My master cylinder was new too. I thought Steve's (quadX) leg was going to cramp up. We just kept pushing more fluid till it worked.
