Hi all

I got my hands on a sierra brake master "thanks steknig" and changed that but I still cannot get good brake feel. I bleed the crap out of the lines, new rear cylinders and changed the front to vitara calipers and rotors.
I have to double pump the brake pedel to get it to really grab. I have not changed the brake booster yet "anyone got one". What else can it be?

cheers

Vitara calipers? did you spin them before you bled them? the bleed nipple needs to sit at the top, it doesnt do this bolted to a sierra

Yea I adjusted the rear, the nipples on each caliper sit straight. Does the master cylinder and the brake booster need to sealed together with gasket glue. I just bolted them together with a paper gasket.

try bleeding the master cylinder by cracking the fittings on it and let some fluid out.

So did you spin them or not?

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder?

The booster won't have any effect on having to double pump the pedal. It's only there to lower pedal effort.
