BS5620 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hello I have a brake problem. Brakes are rock hard!! they are not boosted because its an old cortina. I bleed them up this arvo, seemed sweet and then bleed all nipples once more now they are hard as rock?? What to do to fix this?? Any help appreciated.

sheepers Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 could be push rod adjustment? if the plunger in the master cant retract fully it will build pressure as you've described. you need a gap, or a "free play" bit at the beginning of the travel of the plunger so it can retract fully. if you've adjusted your pedal pushrod so there is no free play it will do what you've described. try changing that and see what happens. sheepers.

BS5620 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 cheers for that. Wont beable to try for a week or two until im next at home. It makes sense tho because the push rod has next to no movement!! Hopefully this works, its all thats holding me up for going for a cert!!!
