We had to reconnect rear brake lines and we bled the brakes but the brake pedal still needs to be pumped a couple of times to work. Any solution to this ? We were thinking maybe still air in the line as the reservoir blows bubbles when we pump the brake pedal. Help ?? Are you using a single resevoir master cylinder or a single circuit master cylinder. If single circuit, then, ... Why? If you have bubbles coming up into the resevoir when you pump the pedal, then you must have air inside the master cylinder, since the bubbles are surely made of air. In all fairness, that wasn't too hard to figure out. Theoretically, the master cylinder will eventually expel all the air through the resevoir but far better to bleed the master cylinder first.Quote: Posted on: 2008/11/16 10:39
