SOURCE: press pedel makes air swishing sound but no power

The power brake booster, is not holding vacuum, that's the hissing noise you hear, and that's why you don't have power brake's, the only fix is replacing the booster.

Testimonial: "Thank you, didn't know if needed to replace master cylinder also??"

SOURCE: proper way to bleed brake lines and system

First check your level in the brake fluid reservoir. If full, then you will need to pull off one tire at a time to bleed the brakes. There will be a bleeder valve on each caliper. Open the valve and pump the brakes until hard and hold, to get air out of the system. Then close the valve. I usually use a clear tube attached to the valve so that I can make sure I got all the air out of the line. Once air is gone, do the other side. Make sure to keep brake fluid full in reservoir to prevent air from reentering the brake lines.

SOURCE: when bleeding brakes have good pedal with engine off. with engine running pedal goes almost to the floor what is wrong

can you here a hissing sound when you push the brake while its running? if so then you have a bad brake booster, need to replace it, the hissing is actually the vacuum that builds within the booster escaping thru the seal in the booster

I change breaks pads on my 08 jeep compas after that i push pedal breaks end not i dond have pressure on pedal way? thanks

sounds like you got air in your brake lines from where you changed your pads thier should be a bleeder valve on your brakes get a friend to hold the brake pedal to the floor while you take a wrench and break the valve open when the pedal hits the floor close the valve just continue doing that until pure brake fluid comes out without air bubbles start at the master cylinder under the hood and don't stop until you have done all four corners if that doesn't fix it you might need a brake booster

When i push down on the brake pedal air leaks out around the rod and the pedal goes to the floor.

Check the vacuum line on the power brake booster, the diaphram may be pushing the air down the rod, the break booster may be defective all together if the vacuum line is intact.

Replaced rear breaks, 2007 spectra, breal pedel is solf, goes to the floor. how do I firm up break pedel, never broke any lines.

You have to check that rear brake cylinders doe's not leak fluid. Check your master fluid reservoir when you pump the brakes.
You have to bleed air from the system, and check the vacuum hose at the master brake cylinder.

How do I bleed air from the brakes

Two persons are required: one to bleed and other to press brake pedal.
Remove wheel and hub of the side you want to bleed. You will find the bleed nut there. Open it a little until some oil flows out. Ask the other person to press brake pedal with steady pushing and withdrawing until he feels its tight while you slowly tighten the nut. Adjust tightness of pedal by trial. Don't forge to refill the brake fluid after bleeding all the brakes.

Do give my solution the highest rating if it solves your problem. Thank you for using fixya!

Brake pedel goes to the floor

pump the pedal until it goes hard this is common when you push it back all the way just needs a few pumps to get it to extend back to the pads making contact with the rotor, is there any fluid leaking anywhere? is there brake fluid in reservoir?
