Ok, changed the drivers side brake hose, had the wife pump the brakes until fluid was coming out by the caliper and I tightened it down. Problem is the brakes are still very soft, I have to pump them a few times to get firm pressure. What else do I need to do? Fluid stays full and no more leaks....so....? |

Pump the brake pedal 2-3 times and hold(engine off) and that person yells "Holding",2nd person opens the bleeder and closes when fluid(or air) stops coming out and when you tighten the bleeder then yell "pump" and wait till the person in the vehicle says "holding" before opening the bleeder again.Continue this till only clean fluid comes out.Start with RR,then LR,then RF,and finally LF.Watch the master cylinder level and add fluid often.May have to do this 2-3 times. If you have ABS it may require a high end scanner to bleed the ABS pump if air got into the pump.Never let the brake pedal come up with the bleeder open,the system will only suck in air defeating everything your trying to do. |
