Problem: I've got a REALLY spongy pedal. Plus I have to push down relatively far for the brakes to engage.
Recent Procedures: Replaced front driver's caliper due to a snapped bleeder screw. Also replaced the brake line on this caliper.
Now I took it to a mechanic today to bleed the brake lines and get all the air out of the system. It didn't help much. Plus he charged me $80 to do it. :nonono: I just recently switched over to ceramic pads, and was forced to switch from stainless steel lines to rubber ones due to a failure. If I push down once on the brake pedal, then quickly release and press down again, the pedal is nice and firm.
So should I a) suspect a problem w/ the new caliper and return it b) figure the mechanic didn't get all the air out of the system, and go back and request it's done right? Or something else?
