Bleedin brakes / Pedal adjust,ment


SvenDriver

Recommended Posts

I've bled the brakes a couple of times now (complete flush in fact) and pumped the hand-brake whilst doing the rears.

Now the pedal has about 1" of movement which feels just like spring resistance and then I am stomping on a brick *wink*. So I am wondering if maybe it is the brake master cylinder adjustment bar which is set wrongly?

 

Am I mad?

If you think the pedal is in the wrong position for you (too high, too low), it's an easy adjustment assuming you've got the standard or uprated MC - pop the pedal box cover off, remove the pin from the MC->pedal pivot, loosen the locknut and rotate the whole pivot assembly (you can usually rotate just the MC threaded rod, but it's easier the other way).

 

Try just a single or double rotation at first - it might not look like you've changed much, but it makes a relatively-large change at the far end of the pedal...

 

If it's some other kind of problem, please explain! *smile*
