Title: why are my brakes doing this??
Post by: richard cash on June 23, 2006, 02:19:41 PM
my brakes arebeing a bit strange. Sometimes when i press them down they are very light and not very effective, then if i left the brake and straight away press it again there is more resistance. If i do this a couple of times it really gets hard to press the pedal but they work better, after a few mins i wil try the brakes again and its the same soft feeling.

Ive heard that the brakes on the rex are amazing but im yet to feel this for myself

Check For Air In The System, Try Bleeding Them. While Your At It Check The Master Cylinder And Hoses For Leaks

With a cold engine. ;)

The bleed nipple (am I allowed to say that???) is in the middle on the firewall.
