Default Halaluya!!!..finally got all the air out of brakes

Got the bleeder fixed and all bled out. The pedal is hard and consistant. Car stops good with the new pads and freshly turned rotors. Pulls ever so slightly to the left on hard panic braking. That will probably clear up when the pads seat in good. Now that car aint stuck up my a no more. I can go on living my life. At least untill next time it needs attention.

:cheers:

Paul, Ill give you a call when im in your area which will probably be never. :jester No seriously though, are you havin trouble with air in brakes?

trw, The main broblem was a leaking bleeder due to stripped threads. I solved that issue but thats a whole other story. Once that was fixed used the gravity method while paying attention to the correct sequence. I ran at least 1 1/2 qt thru the sys. My fluid is completly clear now thru and thru.

REDSHARKSONBOYDS, Both the master and booster were replaced last year as well as all the calipers rebuilt and all thats in good shape.
