Squishy brakes
Posted: Wed May 09, 2018 5:50 pm
Long story short. ..
I had new pads, adjustments, master cylinder and booster put on. The brakes worked fine until the Pinzgauer sat for a few months. Driving the other day, the brakes still stop me, but the pedal is very squishy and doesn't "pop" back up. I have to lift the pedal with my foot or they stay depressed/active.
It was suggested that my rubber hoses have swollen and need to be replaced and rebled. Any other causes before I dive in? Anything to watch out for? Could it just be air in the system? I count 4 hoses (2 front and 2 back) on the 710m. Am I missing something?
