Re: Brake issues

A couple of possibilities.

Check the rear hose. Does it expand when pressure is applied?

Check all connections for leaks.

When bleeding, I use a clear hose and bottle. Loop the hose so it is above the brake cylinder or caliper. When the pedal is depressed, you should not have any bubbles in the fluid in the hose. If their are and only on one wheel, there is a leak at a fitting for that wheel. If there are bubbles at all wheels, the problem is with the master cylinder. If bubbles at only front or rears, a leak between the m/c and the tee for that set.
