i just replaced all 4 corners.
rebuilt front hubs. changed rotors. changed front calipers. changed rear calipers. changed rear rotors. i bled the brakes 2 times. the brakes feel soft. i will press on the pedal but they wont engage firmly but if they were pumped they they would engage better, but they still arent what they should be. they feel like they need to build up pressure. im sure there is no air in the lines, ive bled then twice and the second time found only clear streams of fluid. i have the stock brake set up with the 17mm master cylinder. im using ceramic front pads. and organic backs. as i was bleeding the brakes there was a rubber line on the back(toward the driver) side of the resivoir that had broken off. i couldnt figure what it was going to so i just capped it. anyone have any idea whats going on? thanks -jim |

Sound like you still got some air in there. Keep bleeding the brakes. You could also have air in the proportining valve. It can be a source of trapped air in the system. Lots of past threads about this problem. Try searching. I hope you didn't cap off one of the two supply lines from the reservoir to the mc. Did you?
Cheers, Elliot |
