Also, I know you said you bled in accordance with chiltons, but you did do the furthest calipers first, right? If you did the closest lines to the MC before the further ones, you can reintroduce air into previously bled sections. -------------------- 1965 Spyder GT Posts: 1358 | From: Maine | Registered: Feb 2002  |  : ciscos91stang ¯ Member # 4274 posted                              before anybody starts clownin,this is my brothers car im tring to figure out .i just need a confirmation ,would pouring power steering fluid into the master cylinder mess up any of the seals. -------------------- RPM RACING CREW Posts: 62 | From: san jose | Registered: Mar 2004  |  : stangless ¯ Member # 1414 posted                              you guys used power steering fluid instead of brake fluid? i don't know if it ruins it or not. but i would get that fluid out of there asap.. good luck. pressure bleed the brakes and try to see the condition remains.. good luck. -------------------- =( Posts: 4634 | From: bay | Registered: Jun 2002  |  : SmokinLX ¯ Member # 1684 posted                              Knew someone that did the same thing!
