Brake bleeding
I just installed new brakes, rotors and one new caliper on the rear of my ford super duty, after bleeding a quart through the rear the brakes work but feel very spongy and soft, never had a problem bleeding before but this one isn't cooperating with the norm. Any ideas

Since I started using a plate like this, and a low pressure regulator from Harbor Freight, $10.
http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles..._bleeding_kit/ Most recently did a complete new system on a 70 Blazer without even bench bleeding the master cylinder. Five minutes and done with only about 2 teaspoons of wasted fluid. Pedal like a rock! Has been this way for me since the early 80's. |

My F250 has always had a somewhat spongy feel to the brakes unless I truly need them, then they get hard as a rock and stop the truck quite effectively. I'm not sure how normal that is though, I've not ever driven a modern car or truck for very long.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
