|  Progress report on 63 brake problems
All brake components, except lines and master cylinder, have been replaced. Last change was to replaced rear shoes and now brakes do not grab. However, I'm unable to get a full pedal. Pedal goes to the floor as car stops. Pumping up the pedal will give a firmer pedal but nothing like it should be. Guess simply I haven't gotten all the air out of the system. Will probably replace master cylinder but must sent it off to have it sleeved. Don't want to install a 64/65 MC as cap is different. Am attempting to keep car as close as possible to stock. Ed

Hi there, A pressure bleeding is probably your next course of action. That will FORCE the air out of the system. Allthebest, c4c5 | ||||||||||||||||||||
