#1

Post by BurnsYoFace34 »

Ok so I know there's probably topics already out there but I've tried looking. Anywho so on my 77 I've take the calipers off an apart an cleaned then made sure the seals were ok an what not put them on but for some reason when I press the pedal for the rear or the lever for the front the brakes work but it's like there releasing to fast where I almost have to pump the lever as fast as I can then hold it same with the rear any suggestions or other topics greatly appreciated it.

Sounds like you still have air trapped in the system. Tie the handle back or try vacuum bleeding from the bottom seem the be the most popular fixes
