Jimmy James Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Had a driverside rear caliper seize the other day and just replaced it today as well as rear pads and discs. Flushed the old brake fluid out and replaced it with new stuff. Now I have no brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor and then brakes kick in but no fluid leaks anywhere and no air in the lines.I have no idea what could be wrong, the master cylinder looks almost new. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackin_n_bashin Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Air in the master cylinder? does take a while to get it all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy James Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 I've put a litre of fluid through the system and can't see any more air coming out any of the lines. Is it possible for air to get trapped in the master cylinder? I've done brakes on tons of cars in the past but not on a supra before. Never had a problem like this it's doing my head in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy James Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Do you have to bleed something with the abs unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispot Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 one thing that you could try if you have got std brake hoses, is to clamp each brake hose in turn and see if the brake pedal improves. if it does it maybe just the pads need bedding in, doesn't take a lot of movement of the piston to make the brake pedal travel a lot. or get some to pump the brake pedal whilst you look at the brakes to see if there is any excess movement. regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
