Break Booster Question ...

[Guest Anonymous]

Hey guys I wanted to know if anyone has an Idea why my brakes still feel spongy. I bled them 3 times and It still feels like I have air in them. I did re-do the steel lines but I donno what the heck the sequence of the lines were. Can anyone help me out? I have a 71 I think. It has dual piston calipers (two lines going to each side in the front) and single lines going to the back. Any Ideas,pictures anything????

If so, bleed again and bleed again including the clutch.

If the brakes do not get firm after pumping, adjust the e-brake and rear brakes.

Does it matter what sequence the lines are connected to the break booster? I may have mixed them up.

need to be in a certain location on the master cylinder, guessing on this one.

has a picture of the master cylinder but it doesnt tell which lines go where

it then assume it does not matter. if you dont have one i can run out to the garage and check my manual. but did you do the right sequence of nipples on the caliper? i forget it but someone will know.

Bleed the servo first. Then rears, RHS first (bottom then top), then fronts RHS. On the fronts outer lower then inner lower and top. Job Done.

Try pumping the brakes now, if the pedal firms up after a few pumps you still have air in the line. I pressure bleeder is recomended (30psi max) or if you dont top up the fluid enough you are adding air as you bleed. Its really a 3 person job - one at the wheel, one at the pedal and one topping up the fluid. Good luck with it Beaner7102.
