Subject:      Brake adjustment on 88 automatic
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


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?
