<p>Having said that... if the calipers were properly bled, there
would not be sufficient air remaining to still allow the pedal to
go to the floor. Rodger stated that the pedal was good on the
second stroke, so I'm going to say that the rear are simply having
to travel too far to contact the drum on the first push.. or like
wise the front pads are worn to paper thin as well or a
combination of the two. Secondly, I would also crack the lines
into the booster if fitted and bleed there too.</p>

Yes, and given all the bleeding have done it hopefully is
the issue.<br>
This morning I took 3/4 of a jam jar (almost a reservoir) of
fluid out of<br>
each wheel; minimal air came out using a vacuum pump.<br>
Some minor improvement and pedal now about an inch from
floor on first pump<br>
and car is ... maybe driveable.<br>
As I don't have a helper have to use this technique; it took
but 10 mins to bleed when I recently changed out my booster;
have also ordered some<br>
Russell Speed Bleeders.<br>
<br>
Not quite sure how to address this reverse bleeding
procedure that Andy<br>
suggests.<br>
I have a vacuum pump that have been using to bleed with and
it does not<br>
involve any pedal pumping.<br>
Was thinking of trying to suck from the booster bleeder,
from each calliper in turn -<br>
any thoughts ?<br>

If these are the calipers in question then the reason for
the problem is<br>
kind of obvious- there is no way of getting air out of one
half as it has to<br>
flow downwards, then across the bottom pipe and up the other
side. Any air<br>
stuck in the bores behind the pistons will stay trapped
there. Reverse<br>
bleeding should clear it if the internal drillings are done
sensibly.<br>

Bleeding brakes can drive you<br>
</span>
crazy.See the attached, from my BMC<span class=""><br>
manual. It addresses the question rather neatly,
suggesting<br>
that air may be drawn in at the end of the downward push;<br>
for example, the threads on the bleeders may be slightly<br>
</span>
worn.The trick is to close the bleeder<span class=""><br>
100% before the downward stroke ie, most important, while<br>
</span>
fluid is still coming out.A device such as A Gunson’s<br>
Eezibleed will mange that OK.The pdf’s first line may seem a<span
class=""><br>
little strange......it’s a note addressed to myself. The<br>
relevant paragraph is not in my pdf version of the manual<br>
for some reason so I added it as a reminder.Good
luck,Simon<br>
