Hi,
Just replaced rear brake pips on my escort and replaced the master cylinder with a patent lucas cylinder, cant seem to get a good pedal. Keep bleeding it, pedal pumps up but when leaving and re-applying it goes straight to the floor. I have tried 2 master cylinders, these master cyliders have 4 ports. I have blocked off 2 of them cos I am still running with the standard abs. Am thinking maybe I should try and genuine master cylinder, itdoesnt seem to be pushing that much pressure.
PLEASE HELP!

 

the car needs to be flat to bleed the rear or at least the hubs/wheels need to be.( because of the rear compensators in case you didn't know)
does sound like air still in the system to me and with two blocked the master cylinder should work fine imo.

 

are u getting fluid out of the rears?

 

ye, ive got the rear wheels on the ground, and i can see the valves operating. i am getting fluid out the back, but i would like to see more presure.

if u think the cylinders rite, do u think it could be somthin to do with the ABS.
