ok, guys i have a question.
i just changed my brakes set up.
rebulid calipers, new rotors and some good pads.
when we did it.. for the first couple of days my brake pedal was soft, now it is back to be hard again?
what could be the reason? i took out the pins and lubed them again, then i tightened it back, could i over tightened it?
what can cause this? and one of the front rotors already has a wavy line....
any advices are welcome.
thanks.

 

anyone?

 

When you have air in the lines of a hydrolic system it will eventually work itself out. That is probably what happened.

 

so you mean i had too much air in the lines that is why it was soft and now its gone, so the pedal is hard?
but we bleed them..
how could this happened?

probably just the new pads and everything working itself in, if it stays hard, leave it alone

 

The best way to bleed em in my opinion is vacuum bleed, I have never had a problem. If you unscrew the bleeder screw and then have a friend pump the pedal and then you screw it tight its possible for the system to suck air back in as your friend is letting up on the pedal.

 

i am pretty sure we bleed them properly.
is anyone else pedal is hard?
or is it just mine?
