I replaced my original leaking master cylinder today with an ATE 17mm unit...install went fine, all my connections were clean and removed easily...I struggled a bit with the reservoir lines, but they are in clean and not leaking...
After installing the MC, I pressure bleed the brakes from RR, LR, RF, LF...ran lots of clean fluid through, didn't have much air except for the LF. I got in the car to check the pedal after the bleeding, and it just goes straight to the floor (like it did with the bad MC I just replaced). I have no leaks at any of the wheel cylinders, and they all bleed easily (and with clean fluid...no rust or gunk). What am I missing here...I could understand getting a soft pedal, as I may need to bleed several times...but I don't get why I have no pedal at all. Help please!! I'm moving on Tuesday and need to move my car with me (and hate the thought of taking it to my new place on a tow truck). Thanks! Chris |
