Ive done a search and followed some advice contianed therein but to no avail...

Just finished my lift and went to bleed my brakes, the pedal still feels spongy no matter how many times we bleed them. We've gone through almost 2 large bottles of brake fluid, all the fluid is replaced now.

I relaced everything to do with my rear drums and adjusted them and the e brake...still spongy.

I'm assuming air somehow got into the master cylinder when we put the new braided lines on...

I'm at a loss and need some help. Is there a way to bleed the MC while still in the Jeep?

Every search says to bench bleed the MC but I really don't want to remove it.

Any help would be welcome.

 

It's possible you have air in the MC, but I would look elsewhere before I pulled it.

When bleeding drum brakes it is very important to adjust the shoes ALL THE WAY OUT against the drums before you bleed it. You're fighting the return springs otherwise. Also make sure the line on your bleeder is higher than the bleeder, helps keep air from being sucked back in. I like to use clear tube so you can see what comes out.

You are bleeding the brakes pump pump pump/hold/open bleeder/close bleeder/release pedal, right?

 

Did you bleed the master cylinder first? I have heard you need to bleed the master cylinder first if your master cylinder is new or you put all new lines on. Never done it myself. Just a thought.
