I figure a few folks have been here. I just put new rotors/calipers on my 88 yesterday.....my bleeders were broke off the old ones, and my rotors were at the wear limit..........anyway, I have a pressure bleeder, bled the whole system with new DOT 4 fluid (purging out old fluid) and have no leaks. Now, I have a soft pedal. I stop and have no pulsing, but the pedal is soft. I pull on the ebrake, and it comes up more or less all the way and it holds solid. It being an automatic, putting it in N and trying to adjust the brakes, I can't really feel what is happening. Any ideas?
