BRAKES?? Need Help

I just had to replace a broken brake line on my 93 max now i have an issue. I put the new line on and bled the back and front brakes and now they still go to the floor with hardly any brake. Does anybody know what could be the problem? any help is greatly appreciated thanks

You might need to bleed the brake lines a few more times really good....If it still does it then i would replace the master cylinder....

I had once a very difficult bleed in a nissan, non ABS. I suspect the air bubbles in the load sensing valves (2pcs in 3gen max) could have been the culprit in that case: air bubbles just did not go out.

In that case the last desperado trick was to open all screws ajar and keep fillin the reservoir. U could also try to loosen the tube connection(s) seen at left: ...ped down/close - ped up/open etcetc.

sounds like you still need to bleed the brake lines some more. there might be air in there still. the last time i did it, it takes me a while.

Just a thought... exactly how do you bleed your system..? I did it wrong the first time and didn't actually bleed it, instead I ended up putting more air in there *doh*

As I said, just a thought
