My brakes won't give me a brake possible fautly front calipers? Please Help!!!! 700

posted by  someone claiming to be 747 on  Mon May 23 05:21 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have bled my brakes and tons of air bubbles came out! I used the little portable cup sized container that has a clear hose attachment connection to the bleeder valves (pep boys). My brakes still feel soft and not firm enough for sudden abrupt stops! I am still able to stop, but the pedal just travels too far to do so. I picked up 2 nice master cylinders from the junkyard (very low mileage/new condition). One master cylinder has 2 bleeder screws on the side of it, and the other one doesn't which one should I install if i need another mc? I pulled them off of 2 1990 1992 740 gle wagons (non turbo 8 valve) aw-70 a.t. I would imagine that the MC with the 2 bleeder screws is easier to bench bleed. Could my calipers in the front possibly be partially frozen? My rear pads were worn down pretty good, but my front pads are still somewhat thick as a new set, even though they were replaced about 2 months ago. My rotors seem to be ok? This problem just started about one week ago. I also have a set of front calipers too! Please any and or all advice would be greatly appreciated. I never get a brake light, and it works, but despite my brake issue it does not light up to indicate a major issue. I am very mechanically inclined, just baffled by this brake situation, please help!!!!! 1989 740 gle wagon 8 valve non-turbo A.W. 70 A.T. just over original 393,000 miles (daily mileage 300 miles 99% hwy).


Best Regards
