brakes

Got my MX 5 tanks of fuel old. Just put on new rear pads, brakes are still crap, bled the line, didnt do any thing. When l put the pads on , brakes worked good but still had to push it all the way down. Now theres nothing . Does anyone have any suggestions. When l bled the lines fluid came out then stopped. When l pump the pedal to bleed them hardly any fliud comes out. fluid level is good. Please help. CASS

i couldn't figure mine out either, they would work one day and not work the next. i took it to the service guy to get fixed and haven't had a problem since.

I poked a hole , didnt do anything. took all the lines off , checked for blockage , nothing. When l pump the pedal it seems like there not enough fluid getting to the brakes . When l bled them again hardly no fluid comes out. Any other things l can check? Thanx for your help. CASS

bleed them until all you get out of the bleeder is fluid.

i tried a million times to fix my rear brake, couldnt figure it out for the life of me. Now i took it for a spin today and the brakes work flawlessly, just out of nowhere they came back to life lol kind of weird
