those pressures would only be achieved when the rig is on and the booster is doing its job, we bled the brakes with the engine off, no booster activated at that point. Do you bleed your brakes with the engine running?
Pretty sure all 4 calipers are original. Just curious, why do you say nasty rust in the rear calipers specifically? This has been a west coast vehicle it's whole life, very little rust on the vehicle, unless you are suggesting internal rust from the fluid. You could well be right about...
4 new rotors? How is that going to help drastically? Why would the sudden poor brake situation, which immediately followed new front pads indicate new rotors as a fix? The current rotors don't have many miles on them. Probably Less than 20k.
I wheel/hunt super dusty areas, with an occasional creek crossing, getting muck in the bleeders is far from neglect. The little rubber covers are gone, but up until this bleed, I haven't had issues with the bleeders. I probably could have just cleaned them out but decided new ones would be...
Nope, the rotors are not severely grooved. What about my story says that the system had been severely neglected? I feel like you're reaching for things with your response. What was the link supposed to help me with? Not very associated with my issues except towards the bottom where...
I read in the past to start with LSPV, but I also read to do it after the rears, so I just did both, I figured it couldn't hurt. And I'm in the USA, so LHD.
Booster has been mentioned, but I don't want to just start replacing parts without having a decent confidence via some sort of diagnosis...
going to drop all of the details here, so apologize in advance if it's long winded, but easier to lay it all out in advance then to answer a bunch of questions.
I replaced by front pads last week, after putting everyting back together and setting in the pads, my brakes SUCK. They weren't...
