I changed my front master cylinder, and my bent caliper mount, and bent front left rotor, and my brakes are still not working as well as they should be. I don't think the brake lines are leaking because I'm not losing any fluid out of the resivior. I've bled the brake lines extensively, and I can't imagine there is any air in those lines. I think Rico said something about having to suck the fluid out the master cylinder? DOes anyone know anything about this? Any help is greatly appreciated I'm out of ideas:confused:

Yeah the front brake rezzy won't push the fluid down once it's been drained,,I had to use a bleeder tube and suck the fluid down to each caliper,,then bleed em and they've worked great ever since,,I'm guessin your usin DOT 4 fluid.
