My Damn Brakes!
#11
Pads are almost brand new. Once I hit pressure, they stop great, I could lock up all 4 wheels if I want. Maybe I just need to bleed everything again. I'd hate to round off that adjustment nut for the pedal freeplay.
Or maybe I was looking at the manual wrong. Do I need to loosen something before I do the adjustment? I thought that was only for the brake light switch adjustment, but I'm wondering if I misunderstood it.

" Loosen the booster pushrod locknut and turn the pushrod until the desired pedal height is attained. Now that the pedal height is set, turn the pushrod (the brake booster pushrod) until the freeplay is within the range listed (4-7 mm)."
Did you loosen the brake light locknut and the booster locknut. It sounds like a stupid question, but theres a nut in front of and behind the pedal. After you loosen the rear one i guess you have to toggle the rod until you reach the desired freeplay. Maybe the rod is too far foward? Good luck!

You must prime the master cylinder before use and installation. I would check for trapped air in the calipers especially the rears.
If that does't work. I would get another master cylinder, I have seen new parts be bad the first time.

I did that, and bled the brakes a couple times after that. After installing the new caliper, I bled from the lower bleed point on that caliper. I'm pretty sure I bled everything correctly, and excessively.
Oh, and I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and remove the reservoir. I noticed today that the level had dropped a tad, so I'm sure it's still leaking. There very well could be a crack in the reservoir somewhere, I'm sure it would be hard to see when installed. So I may have to replace it, and bleed the whole system again. My wife's right leg is getting buffed!

Well? Did you adjust that rear rod?
