Brake Pressure Help!

[Rygy04]

Working on a brake upgrade last night and today.

Powerslots w/ Hawk Ceramics and Russel SS lines.

Everything went smoothly like it should for a brake job and then I got it all put together and bled the lines and can't seem to get brake pressure back.

I am worried the Master Cylinder went out or has some debris blocking its ability to push pressure.

Any suggestions would be very helpful please!

Thank you.

Master cylinder has a bleeder on it, bleed it and then re-bleed the rest.

If there was no opportunity for debris to get into the master cylinder then debris is unlikely.

what he said...you probably have air at the master

I will check all that.

Thank you.

air in the master cylinder. also did you make sure that you didnt blow out a caliper seal and now its leaking fluid?

1. bleed master

2. rebleed the entire brake system

3. retest and check for leaks

4. post results

When you bleed the master cylinder it is best to let the car sit for hours and then bleed the master cylinder. It will not work if you bleed the wheels and then the master cylinder.
