Alot of air in the lines,probably the rears,fill up the master cylinder and loosen the bleeder screws on the rear and let them drip for 10-15 minutes,may not drip at all so thats air in it,tighten them up and pump the brakes about 20 times and hold them,have someone release the bleeders 1 side at a time with the pedal still down,then pump again about 15 times,do the same process,what you want to do is compact the air as far down to the wheel cylinders as possible so when you loosen them more air comes out with the fluid.

On my 2004 Kia spectra, replaced rear wheel cylinder. drum brakes, I have bleed all the lines In proper order however I still don't have much pedal .possible air in the Master cylinder?

It has ABS brakes. You have to bleed from the caliper to the master cylinder using a pressurized system, rather than the old way of pumping the brake fluid from pedal to the the caliper.

Put on new front calipers and hoses whenn bleeding i get fluid but no pedal not enough pressure to move piston in caliper

When you are bleeding brakes, the pressure from the pressed brake pedal is pushing the fluid out the bleeder screw. The caliper piston will not move until you close the bleeder valve and press the brake pedal.

I have replaced 3 disc brake calipers on my 2001 pt cruiser. after bleeding all 4 brakes 3 times, I started the car and brake pedal goes to floor. is my brake booster shot?

Michael:

You must start bleeding the brakes at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder (usually the right rear), then the next farthest from the master cylinder, then the next, then the closest. If your master cylinder is at the left front of the car, start with the right rear, then the left rear, then the right front, then the left front. If you don't bleed the brakes in the correct order, you are just shifting the air in the lines from one line to another. Make sure that you close the bleeder before letting the brake pedal up, and the engine should not be running when you bleed the brakes... Make sure that the emergency brake is off. Make sure that the master cylinder does not run out of brake fluid at any time that you are bleeding the brakes.

Why is my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer brake pedal not releasing?

See if the return spring on the brake pedal is connected or may be stretched. This is a pretty good sized spring that is attached to the pedal arm and connects to the body up under the dash.

1999 Ford E350 van problem: brake pedal is soft; have replaced master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, rear brake shoes and drums, front calipers, rotors and discs; have bled master cylinder before...

Good question, on the antilock system is a bleader too and bleade it the same way you bleade the caliper. After all is done adjust the rear brakes, they should have a drag to them.

Start from right rear, then, left rear, right front, left front. Fill master cylinder. Have helper sit in car, have helper hold brake pedal down. open bleed screw. fluid and air comes out. close screw. release brake pedal. Continue until no air comes out. Move to next wheel. Keep an eye on master cylinder fluid level after each wheel.

Just replaced the calipers and blead the brakes. Pedal still travels clear to the floor.

Did you bleed the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder? THen next furthest, to closest last. Did u make sure the master cylinder never got low enough to draw in air? To bleed, Pumo brakes 3x, holding pedal down 1/2 way, while bleeder is opened, let air/fluid flow, shut bleeder as flow diminishes so no air gets in the line. Is the car running when u bleed brakes? It should be. If u are doing all of this u should feel your pedal coming back (getting firm). Let me know how you make out. countrycurt0
