Re: Brakes soft after sitting a few years
Update: Bled the brakes multiple times again, both with a vacuum bleeder and by dragging my wife out. No change, no bubbles. Replaced the master cylinder with a Wilwood Tandem. Bench bled that, installed, and then re-bled all 4 corners. Now I had some small bubbles before I got a big air pocket on the passenger rear. The other 3 corners had small bubbles for a bit and then cleared up. Previously I had no bubbles through multiple hours and multiple bottles of fluid.
Brakes are back!
Did I need a Wilwood master cylinder? Probably not...Just a stubborn air pocket somewhere it seems, maybe the new cylinder let it move enough to escape. But it gave me a good excuse!
