What is the proper way to bleed the brakes, because I've bled them like 6 times already and my pedal still goes to the floor. Could there be something wrong with the master cylinder??? Brake booster is fine i know for a fact. I took all the brakes lines off to spray my engine bay. Could it be theres a lot of air in the lines or am i not doing it right???


TIA, Tim

leak and or not doing it right...

start form the furthest away form the mastter cylinder .. back passenger side back driver side front pass then front driver pump till it gets hard hold it and have a friend open the bleed line till ur pedal almost hits the floor yell at him to close it before it hits the floor do this a few times move to the next repeat steps till you have a good solid pedal .. sry i cant type for ****

You may have to pump the pedal a few times to get the air from the master cylender to the wheels. Don't move the pedal to rapidly either.

also dont let your fluid run below the low line or air will get back into the sytem keep it full

okay so i bled the brakes about five times and still the same problem only now the brake pedal has pressure but after i drive for a couple min it'll go to the floor. but if i pump it a couple times it'll build back up to where it should be

please help, very annoying problem , oh and when i pump the brakes sitting still the rpm's jump from like 800 to 1400...what does this mean???

First of all it's

1. passenger rear
2. driver front
3. driver left
4. passenger front

Try that and see how it works.

its furthest to closest .. i read in another thread a lil whiel ago where the older hayes manual says one way and the new one is diff.. so who knows the actuasl correct way

Furthest to closest is the traditional thought and covers most cars. Its just some newer ones that are different.

If your pedal still goes to the floor after some time with pressure applied, My guess would be on a leak or a bad Master cylender.

okay so i changed the master cylinder and bled the brakes again. i checked all the lines and they are dry. idk wtf is going on with the brakes somebody help its really pissing me off!!!

it sounds like you may have a fluid leak, fill the car up and park it somewhere. leave it there for about an hour or two and come out and looks for fluid on the ground.

Do you lose fluid? It'll take a lot of time. Brake fluid don't flow to fast. Rear wheel cylenders can leak too, and you won't see it for a while because it builds up in the drum. See if you can find a manual that will give the proper bleed sequence, and make sure you don't move the pedal to fast. Did you try searching? someone else might've had this problem before too.

Tjames8864

i dont lose fluid at all theres no leaks every line is dry and ive bled them countless times idk what to do anymore really...only thing left is to vacuum bleed them and hope it works

instrument

how the hell can you bleed them countless times if the lines are dry??????

THAT MAKES NO SENSE

Tjames8864

Hey why dont you read the thread first you make no sense? I have brake fluid in the car and bleed the brakes then wash the engine bay to see if the lines leak. The outside of the lines themselves are dry. READ before you type next time.
Thank you

The engine bay? You're lucky if you get all the air out after replaceing the Master Cylinder by only bleeding at the engine bay. You've got to go the calipers and bleed the rest of the air out there.

two people pump about 10 times hold bleed repeat till no air comes out keep fluid full or you will do it all day.
