[QUOTE="Fastphil, post: 11031278, member: 39941"] I recently replaced all 4 brake lines with Russell stainless steel lines because I tore one while dropping the IRS. While it was torn, the brake fluid leaked out to the point where part of the master cylinder reservoir was empty (there's two compartments in there, the other was still full). After I swapped out the brake lines we bled/flushed all 4 corners. I'm 99% sure we did it correctly, and there's clean fluid throughout the system. Problem is, the brake pedal is softer than is was before. The car is driveable and still brakes well (better than most ordinary cars), but it certainly isn't as good as it was before. So I'm thinking I need to bleed the MC. I've never done this before, but I'm willing to give it a try if no special tools are necessary. How hard is this to do? I'm trying to get my service manual to work (ironic, since I'm the one who created [URL="http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/terminator-talk-229/718348-ultimate-simplest-way-getting-your-free-03-mustang-service-manual-work.html"]this thread![/URL]), so if anyone can give me a quick rundown on how to do this, I'd really appreciate it.
