I replaced my rear drum brakes and now I have to pump my car%26#039;s brakes to stop the car...on the first pump it goes all the way to the floor and after that about halfway then on the third time it will start to stop the car. I accidentally had brake fluid come out of the cylinder when I was changing the drum...
HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!|||did u bleed the brakes properly?sounds like u didnt do that right.u have to open the bleed valve,press the brake,hold the brake,then close the valve back up,while ur foot is still holding the brakes down.do not let go until the valve is closed becuz u will just suck air right back into the line..keep doing it till u see a solid stream of brake fluid come out 3 times.then u have gotten the air out of the lines.do it to both sides.|||I concur with everyone, sounds like air got into the lines. Anytime you have brake fluid coming out like a leak, you can get air in there. If fluid comes out, air can go in. I will add that when you bleed the brakes, start at the wheel farthest from the brake fluid reservoir under the hood. So, in this order bleed the passenger back wheel, then the driver%26#039;s back wheel, then the passenger front wheel, then the driver%26#039;s front wheel. If you don%26#039;t know how to do it, you should get someone that knows to help you. It%26#039;s not a difficult thing to do but it can be dangerous if you don%26#039;t do it right. Air in the lines is dangerous because that means little or no brake pressure.|||It sounds like air has gotten into the lines. You should pick up some of the correct brake fluid and then bleed the brakes. This is a two man job; One to control the bleed valve on the wheel, and one to pump the brake pedal. Bleed all 4 wheels. Make sure a clear stream is coming out without bubbles before tightening each bleed valve.|||it,s your duty to run a safe motor , dont do your own brakes take to a garage and let them fix it
