Bulletin Board - Message Bleeding brakes Hi, After the rebuild of the brakes on my factory V8 I have difficulties to bleed the system. All tips are welcome. Regards, Guy Konz 04 March 2010 @ 16:24 Under topic: V8   Reply(ies) received for this Message Bleeding brakes Had the same problem with my son's Mini. If you fit new discs, calipers and pads they fit so well that when you pump out the pads into contact with the discs they sometimes don't go far enough to push the rubber dust seal outwards and the seal pulls the pads back in again making the pedal "spongy". One cure is to remove a little material from the pads we did this by taking the car to an unused fen road and driving with the brakes on untill enough pad material had been removed they then firmed up nicely. Any problems with the actual bleeding invest in a Gunsens Ezee-bleed system.
