Need help with brakes!

[coatimundi01]

Ok, new rear lines installed, new hard line installed, no brake leak, lines bled out. I still have a crazy soft pedal... Do I just bleed them again and hope for the best? Do I have to do anything with the clutch?

I've never done it before so maybe I bled them wrong. I got the order correct. Maybe not all the bubbles are out?

I just had to bleed my brakes, And to be honest I never had as much trouble with a vehicle as I did my X. I ended up buying one of those vacuum bleed kits so I could do it solo. I also bleed alot more fluid out the I thought was necessary as in I refilled the tank after each brake.

I realized I did it wrong. First timers mistake! Went out and redid all of them and I'm good to go now!

I had never bled brakes before and didn't close the bleeder between pumps. Ended up still being air in the rear lines. Pedal still is a little soft, but that's the way it was before. Original brakes on an '07! She'll get new pads and rotors this year before my elk hunt!
