Lost brakes recently so replaced front rotors/calipers. Bled brakes and found that Master cylinder was bad. Getting pressure when I pump the brakes several times as they are being bled, but then push down on the brake and it goes to the floor.

Replaced master cylinder (with a re-manufactured one), bled all brakes 2 times and still have pressure when I pump, but then wait and push the brake down and it goes to the floor again. Cannot seem to keep the pressure.

Do you think there is still air in the brakes? could the master cylinder (the second one) be bad as well?

I'm running out of thoughts on this, and my frustration level is rising!!

Thanks

Hi there.

Carefully re bleed the brakes and if you still have pressure issue i would suspect the master cyl.
