I've just bled my brakes and the pedal feels worst than before.

We started with passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, then driver front. One person pumped several times and hold...other person loosens bleeder..then tightens before pedal is released.

The problem is we can do this about a dozen times and we still get air coming out of the lines. Sometimes it will go 5-6 times with no air..then all of a sudden there is air coming out again.

We make sure not to let the fluid level get too low also.

Is this a sign that the master cylinder needs to be bled? Or a sign that the master cylinder is going bad?

Any help is appreciated!

it means you need to bleed the MC and then all the brakes. it takes patience. when i was bleeding my stuff after replacing the MC and all calipers it took a VERY long time to get all the air out. if you start going through more then 1.5 big bottle of fluid then something is wrong. it took me one big bottle to do the whole job. after i did it it was ****. loved the brakes.

mastercylinder sounds like it's bad allowing air into the system...no matter how much u do,you're going to keep taking air into the brakes via broken seals on the mastercylinder..

i had this problem with my integra, was the brake master cylinder pedal kept sinking even after going thru more then a large bottle of brake fluid bleeding, pedal would sink a hour later when braking or feel mushy..


on a side not just looked up brake master cylinder prices on a SC man they are expensive for these cars lol.

Have you bled the TRAC accuator and accululator? The book says to apply power to run the TRAC pump. I can't figure out how to run the battery directly to it. I also do not want to jack up the back yet. Seems dangerous.
Thank you.

Forgot to mention I don't have trac.

If anyone has bled the TRAC components, could you please explain how you activated the pump to bleed. I can't seem to get it and I don't want to jack the car off of the ground.
Thank you very much.
