Can't lock brakes MC bar

[RIQUE]

Hi Folks, my brakes were working quite well until I had to change the pads. After this and fluid change brakes suck. If I press the pedal mid way semi firm, truck brakes ok but if I floor the pedal it just keeps on rolling with out locking the brakes. I wonder if
the bar that actuates the MC is not adjusted long enough and thus does not push fluid all the way in?

Did you bleed the brakes? You should do that first.

Don't mess with the bar if it was working fine before. 62 brakes can be a bitch to bleed .in what order did you bleed the brakes? Did you bleed them properly? To use use a speed bleeer or something?

Keep bleeding, any minute air bubble in the system will cause braking problems

For the 60 series, the fartest away is the left rear, then right rear, then left front, then right front. This is in order of the longest hydraulic line. After bleeding the four wheels you will need to bleed the LSPV, if you have one.
