Re: Mushy brakes

if the pedal feels spongy they still have air in the lines and need to keep bleeding , sometimes it takes forever to remove a bubble always pump slow as a fast pump will break a bubble into lots of small bubbles,if the pedal is hard but near the floor the brakes need to be adjusted up with a brake spoon or screwdriver to get the pedal hard near the top of its travel this should solve your problem. also make sure not to let master go dry while bleeding or you just pumped more air into the system

Subject: Mushy brakes

Hey guys, I did a 4 wheel brake job on my 65 Polara yesterday. Replaced all the shoes as they were all worn and cracked. Also replaced the drivers rear wheel cylinder. Problem is my brakes still feel mushy. Like to the point where I don't feel safe driving it. The peddle goes about half way down before it grabs and still doesn't really grab the way it should or did a couple years ago. I realize disc brakes are better and will be doing a conversion next year cuz my car's a wedding very shortly a don't have time for that. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated. BTW, no power assist, single reservoir.
Thanks
Cory
