Brake Pedal Soft

Recommended Posts

I just finished replacing the rear pads and machined the rotors, rebuilt one rear caliper, and bled all four brakes. There shouldn't be much, if any old fluid in the system, and I'm pretty sure I got all the air. Yet, my brake pedal is still squishy, requiring about half travel before I get any reasonable response out of the brakes.

 

Master cylinder time?

 

Car has 277 000 kms on it, so I suppose it's very plausible.

It's been a couple weeks...

 

And I've never heard of this order for bleeding them. What's that all about?

 

The lines in that area are rusty, but not broken yet... I'll be keeping a real close eye on them.

Cuz the rear brakes engage first. This is to prevent the front of the car from dipping down in the front and having people in the car go through the windshield. I am basing this on nothing. It is my opinion of what happens.

how do you figure? one cylinder, four lines. the only thing is the abs changing pressure, and that's only when needed.
