Hi everybody, I'm having an issue with my '71 240 where I have bled all four brakes, including bleeding from the resevoirs. I have read some tips that involve sticking calipers on the front but they look fine. When driving the car it does stop, but I have to bottom the pedal to make it stop, and it stops slowly, where I wouldn't want to driving at higher speeds. ( I only reach the very bottom when I was bleeding) Between that and the top, there is no pressure. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! -Phillip

 

Godzilla thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I thought the rear drums self adjust from pulling and releasing the handbrake. At least that's what I noticed. No changes have been made to the brakes, and no noticeable leaks are to be seen. Thanks again. -Phillip

 

Well just an FYI, I found out my brake master cylinder was bad. Replaced it, and bled again and all is well!

 

YAY!!!

 

Heyyyyyyy mine does that too.
It's an 83zx.

I recenetly hit a curb at around 30mph when my brakes locked up in the rain. After that they've been pretty loose.
Is it possible that I could have messed up the brakes themselves? Is there any way to chk?

Sorry I now it's a pretty vague question but I'm new at all this car stuff :P

 

I can't see how that would affect your brakes. I would have them, and the alignment checked out though - curbs don't get along with suspensions very well.
