<div> What do you get if you give the system one quick pump first and then hold the pedal? Is it any more solid (and total pedal travel reduced)? I can't help but think it might be as simple as rear brakes needing adjustment....<br>

Subject: [TR] Bleeding the bl--dy brakes - again<br>
<br>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_246b8e42-3eef-4673-ad00-32fcde3fae95">
Hi all<br>
<br>
I've had the TR4 running well for a year now, but can't get a hard brake pedal, despite many bleeding attempts. I have all new brake lines from TRF, all new cylinders, and braided ss hoses. There is one non-stock junction midway fore and aft because that fully bent section could not be installed in one piece. <br>
When doing a bleed, the pedal pusher and I get a good full pedal, but that is quickly lost in even one non-driving day. . The result is that the pedal has to be depressed halfway before I get braking power.<tt>...
