Question
i have an 87 monte SS. my brake pedal is flooring, brake light on, ebrake will stop it, but its wierd,

i had a friend pump em, while i watched, no spraying, and the master still has fluid,

so if the lines were open somewhere,wouldnt there be signs of leakage? or, if noone opened anything, how could it have gotten airbound?   im only asking so i dont wallet troubleshoot, but kinda need my brakes LOL

thanks
john


Answer
John;
There is air or something wrong. when you bleed them did you start from the  .  l/r than  r/r than f/l than front  right  and did you keep adding fluid at all times so no air would get in. you might have to bleed them again , and if still check all wheel cylds. and calip. also see if there are any leake in the lines, and the master cyld. could be bad.  but wait on that.
