Hey guys, I could use a little help. I just got finished bleeding down the brake system after rebuilding all four calipers. The brakes worked when I started this project but I had one (or more) calipers that were frozen. Now, the calipers all work great and I believe I have bled all the air out of the system but there is still way too much travel in the pedal and I have to pump the pedal a couple of times to get any brakeing. What's up? It took about a month and a half to get everything rebuilt during which time the car sat up with little or no fluid in the brake system. Could the master cylinder, that was working fine before this, could it have gone bad just sitting there? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I appreciate any help or suggestions! |
