Hey Everyone,
I replaced a blown rear brake line on my 1996 K2500. I just recently bought it from a guy who was the one who had the brakes go out on him, it had been sitting for half a year like that.
I replaced the rear line that runs from the front to back, along with the 2 rear lines on the rear axle. I then tried bleeding the normal way, cracking the bleeders while someone else is holding down the brake pedal. I have gotten a lot of air out, but now i get a solid stream of new fluid. But the pedal remains super soft, can go to the floor. I checked and bled the fronts as well. I was able to get some air out of them, but also have a solid stream of new fluid now. I have bled all the wheels multiple times and still a very soft pedal.
If I pump the pedal every 2 seconds several times in a row it will eventually get more firm. But not suitable for driving yet.
Any one have any ideas?
I have not bench bled the master, but I did bleed in on the vehicle, with no air. I also pushed the pin in on the ABS and did that trick, with only fluid coming out, no air, and no improvement.
Thanks for any advice.
