somtimes....i cant stop....

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 08:57 PM

ha, title can be misleading if you read it how you want,

Start the car
Put it in Drive
Driving forward, coming to a stop-sign, try to stop but it slows down extremely slow rather than stopping, after pressing the brake a couple times, it works like its supposed to, whats up with that?

Assassin_Dan · June 1st, 2008, 08:58 PM

Sounds like you have air in the brake lines.

bullitt5576 · June 1st, 2008, 09:00 PM

+2 on air in the brake lines, does it feel soft? and once you pump it a couple times firms up?

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 09:03 PM

yep, thats what it does, but what i dont understand is does the air stay in there? even after pumping?

Assassin_Dan · June 1st, 2008, 09:07 PM

yes it does, you have to bleed the brake lines the get rid of the air.

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 09:07 PM

is there a better time to do it or how do i tell if im doin it right?

Assassin_Dan · June 1st, 2008, 09:14 PM

You need 2 ppl, one to pump the brake pedal and one guy on the valve and each brake caliper. you start at the farthest barke away from the master cylinder and work up the the closet. You have to pull all 4 tires to this job. You have one guy pump the pedal and the other guy opens the valve and lets the air bleed out, but he has to keep his foot on the pedal so the air doesnt go back in.

HMUSN · June 1st, 2008, 09:16 PM

I would just take it to pep boys and have them hook you up with new brake fluid.
Your probably due for a change anyway.. bleeding brakes can be a pita and they have a machine that they hook up which gets it done in like 5 mins.

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 09:16 PM

how much?

HMUSN · June 1st, 2008, 09:17 PM

should be under $50 or so.

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 09:18 PM

ill probably end up doing it myself, may be a pita but its not hard right?
edit*
me and my buddy.

HMUSN · June 1st, 2008, 09:19 PM

no it's not hard at all. it's just a pita

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 09:20 PM

sweet, then ill probably do it myself, did assasin_dan have everything down on that one?

HMUSN · June 1st, 2008, 09:21 PM

everything but checking your cap up top to make sure it doesn't go dry (meaning your just getting more air in)

Assassin_Dan · June 1st, 2008, 09:22 PM

It's a little more in depth than that, but i can explain it furthur if you want

dgt_mustang · June 1st, 2008, 09:23 PM

sweet, i already have some prestone synthetic brake fluid here, new, not opened, the big bottle so ill probably do this tomorrow
how do i bleed it all out without letting the master cylinder go dry?

HMUSN · June 1st, 2008, 09:24 PM

by checking your cap up top to make sure it doesn't go dry

Assassin_Dan · June 1st, 2008, 09:24 PM
