Exclamation [ Info needed? Brakes, Pedal goes down too much ] -.-

Alright, I replaced a brake line on my EVO , left rear passenger. FOr some reason I still have air after bleeding the entire brake system.

IT says to have the running, and bleed in this procedure. RR, LF LF, RF. I did that a few times and still it is about the same. WE also cracked open the lines no the master cylinder to get air out, any suggestions would be great.. : |

Are you experienced in bleeding brakes so that you're sure you're doing it correctly?
Did you bleed both bleeder screws (inner and outer) at each corner?

This method is pretty sound. Please read & perform the re-bleed

Should be Passenger Rear then Driver Front then Driver Rear then Passenger Front. This is the order specified by the Mitsu Full Service Manual.

Well I figured out what I did incorrectly. I have yet to bleed a brake system like thus before, and I did not know (even though ti was quite strange because I felt there could be the bleeder on the inside of each caliper, I ignored my own institution) that it was the bleeders no the inside; which were never touched at all.

So, I will be bleeding those, thought I would update everyone, I am sure I am not the first, nor the last person to do this. You learn a lot each day.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.
