Re: [Amc-list] Brakes, still not good

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Pedal to the floor? Here's my list:

Incorrectly bench-bled master. This can pop a cup backwards requiring a 
complete disassembly. YOu need to follow the instructions to the letter. 
Put it in a vise, run air-tight hoses from outlet to resevoir, pump with 
a screwdriver handle or something slowly with short strokes until EVERY 
SINGLE MICROSCOPIC BUBBLE is gone. It might take 10, 50, 100 strokes. 
Can't skip this step!

Bad master. It happens. A lot of "new" parts are crap, and rebuilts... 
if YOU didn't do the work, don't go by what the P.O. says. I ain't 
sayin' they're liars; but we all mis-remember and who know what was 
done, the past can't be directly examined.

Bad overall system bleed job. Go from furthest-away (usually driver's 
rear) to closes (driver front).

Clean off everything (backing plates, master, lines, etc) with brake 
cleaner when done. Then you can spot leaks.
