Brake help |

Hi folks, after a bit of advice please. |
|
Having just rebuilt my front callipers after having a binding |
|
one I can't seem to get the pedal as firm as before the rebuild. |
|
I have bled and bled the brakes and can't get any air out, the |
|
pedal is nice and firm with the engine off but once the engine |
|
is running there is about an inch off lost travel, after getting |
|
through that inch the brakes are fine, it firms up nice, locks |
|
the wheels, skids are cool! Doesn't go to the floor. |
|
I left the pedal depressed over night to try and get any air to |
|
work it's way up to the ressie. But it's just the same. |
|
Any suggestions? |
|
Many thanks. |
|
Tim |

If they're working ok I shouldn't worry too much....dont flat |
|
spot yr tyres...you'll need em for Honda wooping! |
|
It could be that if the calipers were binding before it was |
|
artificially making the pedal feel firmer due to |
|
friction...nothing else really springs to mind Tim if it's all |
|
working well now. |

I still reckon its air trapped 'somewhere'. Feels exactly like |
|
it |
|
The pedal was always good and firm before and pulled up nicely |
|
in a straight line. |
|
We shall have another head scratch... |
|
As they are now there is zero scope for the pedal getting longer |
|
during track work.... |

Could well be...I've seen someone have issues getting a pedal |
|
after bleeding brakes...old master cylinders sometimes don't |
|
like being disturbed...poss going past their natural wear |
|
zone...strange but true. |

Thanks jase. |
|
We're gunna get it apart again on Friday and bleed them again |
|
with the callipers off and try giving them a genial knock to |
|
dislodge any air. Failing that I think a new master cylinder |
|
will be on order. |
|
Will get it on the rollers this month too! |

I have a similar issue on my G40. Hoping the new master |
|
cylinder will help! |
