Check your pedal to master cylinder rod spacing. Perhaps it's too large?

Also, go around check the minor adjustment (star wheel) on the brakes again. Sometime after you actually used them, they have bedded/seated a bit better and then need a tad more tightened. I gave up adjusting with the feeler guage, and had more luck turning the adjuster until locked and can bearly turn the tire in the direction of travel with two hands. Then backing off the adjuster until it has just a wisp of drag.


I will go back and check the minor adjustment. They were all dragging some when I checked them before, so I was surprised the pedal still had so much travel.

Is there a measurement I'm supposed to be looking at for pedal to cylinder rod? And how is it adjusted?

On that note, I need to figure out how to adjust the clutch pedal too....I have several inches of play before it engages.
