I replaced my brake pads with Hawk HPS today. I was bleeding the system and everything seemed fine until I got to the last caliper, the left front. While my wife was pumping the brakes for me, the tubing popped off the bleeder screw. I quickly replaced it but a few pumps later she said the pedal went to the floor a lot easier and lost a lot of resistance. I ended up bleeding the entire system again twice without significant improvement.
I had done everything like I was supposed to. I even opened the bleeder screw as I was compressing the pistons so the fluid wouldn't be forced backwards through the system. My reservoir never ran out of fluid during bleeding.
I was able to get some air bubbles out of the left front bleeder screw, but I started to notice that it would slowly bubble even if the pedal wasn't being pumped. Do I have a bad bleeder screw that's letting air into the system? If I have air in my master cylinder is it hard to get out?
I drove around the block once and have some pressure about an inch before the pedal hits the floor.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
