I finally found the time to get my brakes put back together on the TR4. On the front I did new braided steel brake lines, new pads, pistons and seals on the calipers. On the back I did new brake shoes, cylinders and springs on the drums. I bled the whole system twice today, but my pedal travel is still pretty far before it really firms up. You can't get the pedal all the way to the floor anymore, and a couple quick pumps really firms everything up at the top of the pedal, but after a short minute, it's back to the way it was. And I put in a new master cylinder about 6 months ago.
Granted, I don't have anything to compare the brake feel too except for how it was before and I wasn't blessed to have been born early enough to drive cars in the 60s. Is this just how it is or is there still an air bubble hiding out somewhere?
