RE: [T3] help brake spongy


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Sounds like air in the brake lines still.
Important to know if early or late vehicle.
Later have dual cylinders, in which case the
master cylinder may have air in the rear brake
section.  The firs thing to try is to bleed
the brakes in the rear. Others can help with
bleeding the master.

Loop a hose from the bleed nipple UP and over
the tire so that stray bubbles flow from the
cylinder, and not hang around trying to float
back up inside the nipple.  Then run the hose
into a container.

I have put on new  mastercylinder , new steelbraided brake hoses and new
rear wheel cylinders . The front brakes stop on a dime but the back only
work good if I pump them once or twice. Even when I do that the petal is
still spongey. Anyone have any clues?
