weird brakes.
 

when I step on the brakes, their real loose, I have to push it almost all the way down before I get any brake. Whats goin on?
Thanks, Justin

Sounds like air in the line? Have you changed the pads lately? Checked your fluid level?

Re: weird brakes.
 

we just did the pads, and Idk bout the fluid.

Re: weird brakes.
 

Yep. you need to fill the master cylinder with fluid and bleed the brakes. Make sure the master doesnt get low or youll keep the problem going.

Re: weird brakes.
 

How did you do the front brakes? Did you open the bleeder valve and let out fluid or did you keep the bleeder closed and compress the caliper piston?

What I would suggest...

Items you will need:
Large bottle of brake fluid
Cup or bottom of a bottle (oil, trans fluid, etc) that you can put brake fluid in.
12-18" of Vacuum hose that will fit the brake bleeder.

Procedures.
Top off master cylinder. Put cover back on.
Put some brake fluid in cup.
Attached vacuum hose to brake bleeder.
Place other end of hose into cup of brake fluid. Make sure end is submerged. Add more fluid to cup if needed.
Open bleeder valve.
Slowly pump the brake pedal 3-5 times.
Close bleeder.
Repeat on other side.

Sequence of bleeding right rear, left rear, right front, left front. However if I only change the front I have had luck just bleeding the front, but it wouldn't hurt to do all 4.

I would bleed all 4. :smoke:
