    Spongee brakes...

    OK...no newb to this stuff...but no matter what I do I cant get the figgin air out of my brakes

    tried all the appropriate methods...pressure...suction...

    its good but not great...it stops fine...just cant get it hard (insert vulgar comment here)

    thought it might be the master...tilted the car...all the tricks

    nothing seems to work...its a Fox body 91

    the master has three lines...tanx

    no prop valve...it actually stops very good...no lock up at all

    couple of things:

    could be wrong master which means replacing with correct volume and piston size
    need a adj prop valve to set the brakes up correctly
    if there is air in there, you need to gravity bleed them first, and also tap the calipers with a deadblow hammer - sometimes air bubbles attach to the inside of the caliper and wont come out.
