Well gentlemen I have been working on my brakes for some time now. I have been using a vaccum bleeder and I did notice the air also so I will try the anti-sieze. I just cant get the pedal firm unless I pump up the system. On an earlier post I stated that I changed over the rear drums to disk brakes (using caddy calipers). I then changed the rear master cylinder from a 3/4 to 7/8 unit and proceded to bleeding it again. Yesterday I bled it for the millionth time to no avail. I did however notice that when I pump up the brakes say 5 or 6 times and hold the pedal firm it very slowly drops. I rechecked all my lines and didnt find any leaking. I would expect any leaks in the lines should be obvious when the system is presurized. I didnt bench bleed my new MC and mine is a #@*&# to install. What do you brake pro's think? Olaf
