I have just installed all new pads,wheel cylinders,flexible hoses, wheel brake hardware, and master cylinder. I adjusted all the pads and also re-installed auto adjusters all around, I bled the master before installing, and I bled all four wheel cylinders starting with the closest one to the master. The pedal is perfect, but it takes some serious pressure to stop the car. No ned to pump, againthe pedal is perfect. I took the car to get a new exhaust and told them to please bleed the brakes and see if I still had air in the lines or m/c. The pedal came up very little and still hard brakes!! I have owned this car since 1976, it was my first car and I know how the brakes should feel. Now my 16 yr old is about to start driving it and I can't figure out the problem.....Some advise please guys.</P>


Thnaks in advance.....</P>

Are you sure you got all the air. Sometimes air gets traped in the system. And it takes for ever to get it out. Even if they are bleeding all fluid. Youo can still have air. It's a pian in the ***.

 

I took it to Midas because they owed me a muffler from 20 yrs ago. (lifetime warranty). The way they do it now is to put an adapter on top of the m/c and put 30psi of fluid pressure through the system, then just go wheel to wheel and release until no air is detected at each one.</P>


Weird, I know....</P>

 

I know you may not like it but its an old car and if you havent put on power brakes it is gonna be hard. That is just one of the finer points of owning an old car. I have to dam near stand on mine to get them to work.<edited><editID>1966 Mustang15</editID><editDate>37989.6631018519</editDate></edited>

Hey i thought that would help him get it fixed you know. LOL

 

Thats good modivation.

 

Still sounds like you have air in the system. It could be possible the Master Cyl. is bad. Does it stop o.k.? If so, then it could beyou just forgot what allnewparts "feel like" in the pedal.</P><edited><editID>bob emmerich</editID><editDate>37990.8309375</editDate></edited>
