I don't know what the problem is...
Installed new rotors, Hawk pads, and front SS lines on my '03 Cobra but, now have a soft pedal. We double and triple checked the install. Bled the brakes atleast 6 times on Friday activated the ABS during test drive then bled them again on Saturday 4 times. We tapped on the lines, ABS, and calipers to try to rattle loose some air. We mostly used a Motiv pressure bleeder but a couple of times bled manually with one guy keeping the m/c full, one pushing the pedal, and one working the bleeder. During each bleed, we varied how much fluid we let out each time and fluctuated the bleeding screw from small streams to full stream.
The pedal grabs the brakes close to the floor but there's nothing for about half a pedal before I notice anything. The pedal does not sink, when holding and pumping the pedal doesn't change anything. After 10 - 15 (lost count) bleeds, it feels the same as it did after the first bleed.
The only thread I found on this forum, relating to a similar bleeding brake problem was ->http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=513977.
I'm thinkin' there is a malfunction in the system somewhere.
Anyone have any ideas? :shrug:
