Hi
I recently replaced a hub, because a few of the studs were knackered.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I filled it with swivel hub grease, which I quickly realised was the wrong stuff.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
However the grease had soaked through everything, seriously affecting the braking.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I stripped everything down but forgot to hold the brake pistons in, and as a result the pedal is soft now.
In fact I've to press the brake twice before there is enough force to stop the car.
I've bled the system twice, and yesterday I replaced the master cylinder (not the easiest nuts and bolts to get to!!) and bled the system a third time.
It's still not any better. Am I missing anything else that coud be contributing or am I not bleeding the system well enough?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Cheers
