My brakes are screwed, why?	Wed, 29 June 2005 12:16

Ok i'll just lay down the story first: I decided that my brakes were getting to be very very crap so I had my pads changed over to some better ones, no problems there. When they were changing over the pad's they found a bunch of things wrong with them that needed fixing. Rotors under legal limit rear shoes worn sticky calliper leaking rear cylinders and needed brakes to be bled. So after a little hills run with my new pad's i decided they were pretty sweet and that i'd go bleed the brakes with my cousins help. Big mistake. We bled and bled and bled them and their was just so much air coming out of the rear left line, all the others were fine. anyway when we ran out of fluid we just put everything back and left it as is. their was a crap load of air still left in my lines and only about an inch of pedal play actualy did anything to the brakes, the rest was nothing. Took my car to the place that did the pad's and had the rear cylinders replaced and a full bleed. It was a little better but nothing like it was before the first bleed. Now i have about 2 inches of pedal play that actualy brakes. So just what is wrong with my brakes? Theirs no leaks anywhere anymore but they are still crap, could it just be an adjustment problem (we havn't changed any adjustments at the master cyl) or is it something worse?
