Bleeding Brakes (spongey feeling)
I installed my new 400E 4pot front calipers on my 87 260E but the brakes are very spongy. I have to put it all the way to the floor for it to even "feel" like it is braking. I replaced rotors + pads + fluid + brake lines...but this is not a bedding in mistake. The brakes are beyond normal for new rotors and pads -- Far, far too spongy.
I figure it is air in the lines and I may need to bleed the brakes again.
I was using a motive power bleeder before...How do I know when to stop bleeding since the fluid is new in there and how can I make sure there is no air? (It was my 1st time bleeding so maybe I made a mistake?)
Any other ideas on why it could be spongy?
Thanks
