Help!Brake system nightmere continues!

posted by  someone claiming to be Bonzo on  Mon Jul 31 10:10 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Well after posting on friday that i was having trouble bleeding my right rear caliper i was able to get it bleeding today, monday, without trouble, dubiously of course since i hadn't touched the thing since friday. I continued the bleeding sequence with no trouble, however after completion and testing i was still receiving the brake failure light, and my pedal offered no resistance. So i bled the system again to no avail! Well my thinking now at this point is that the master cylinder was damaged somehow in the process, something about it being pressed too far to where its never used so that some seal gets damaged? Thats one guess, but i thought i'd post about this and see if anybody had any suggestions. If that was the cause, me pressing the brake pedal too far, then let it be a warning!haha, anyway btw i did remember to put the cap back on and finish the bleed before i pressed down the brake pedal...
So , any ideas?
thanks
Caylen
