Good Morning,
I have a 1990 xjs that is driven rarely. The rt front brake caliper stuck so i ordered and replaced the front calipers. I bled the front brakes and everything seemed normal. Good firm pedal. Heres the bad part. As soon as i pulled it out of the garage for a test drive the pedal got mushy. Then went to the floor. I have attempted to bleed the brakes again with no success. Pedal goes right to the floor. The rt front caliper is not bleeding. The left front will bleed as normal. So what did i mess up? Do i have to bleed the rear as well ? .. it is an abs sysem, any help would be greatly appreciated, my girlfriend doesnt understand my attachment to the car and is trying to get me to sell it !!!! She has never ridden in it and i know once she does she will forget about selling it. If she doesnt I would hate to have to trade her in...the girlfriend that is
Thanks
Steve
