soft front brake

Johnwebley:
how are the brake pads ??

 if they are not bedded in,they may cause a spongy lever as the pad hits the disc,

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
I thought a syringe was for injecting drugs etc
You old boys tell me I am right or do you use them?

Johnwebley:
when I need to replace a brake pipe ,before I take it all appart,I pump the caliper as full as I can,without the pads in !!,
then swop the parts,re assemble,and then push the caliper piston in,this fills the pipes and up to the mastercylinder,

 check the fluid level,top up,then bleed normally,to make sure there are no air bubbles,

works well for me

Hi Rirons,

Been there... done this... two old Hondas, one with a brake lever that pulled 1/2" to full on; and the other that pulled all the way to the grip. New pads, hoses, gallons of bloody fluid... in my case a new master seal kit (DSS) was the answer. Don't particularly understand the physics..  just eventually got there through elimination.

Frustrating & expensive... but now all good. Happy hunting...
Simon
