Re: Soft brake pedal

Hey Guys!

I finally got my brakes working pretty well. I did a "bench bleed" of my master cylinder, but with it on the car. Hooked up a couple of plastic hoses from the outlets into the reservoir and pumped the brakes many many times. I also received help from my brother when it came time to bleed my brakes. Let's just say his legs are a lot stronger than my Mom's. I don't think my Mom was able to push the full travel of the pedal and that was probably a large factor.

Something I noticed is that the pedal feels much easier to push in than it used to. I guess that could have been a result of the twisted brake hose. Anyways, It's great to have my car back, she's so much fun to drive!

Thank y'all for your help; it is much appreciated,
