I just rebuilt the master cylinder on my BN2. Honed the bore and installed
rebuild kit....all new rubber etc. Now I'm bleeding the brakes, and I can't
seem to get a decent pedal. The pedal goes nearly to the floor, and feels a
little spongy. It gets better with pumping, but still not satisfactory. I'm
using Speed-Bleeders with a tube into a jar. Bled four times so far and got a
little air at first, but now just clear fluid. I have tried everything I
know...Back of on all brake shoe adjustments, tighten all brake shoe
adjustments, pump slow, pump fast, bang on cylinders with a hammer, swear a
lot, pray a little.....nothing works! I'm using DOT 4 fluid. Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated.
