Soft pedal on 03 grand caravan

Have you driven it since the brakes where replaced?

Did you bleed all four wheels?

have you "broken in" the new pads?

Are the rears drum or disk? If drum are they adjusted correctly?

are you using remanufactured master cylinders? If so keep replacing them. eventually you will get one that works. New is pricey but a better way to go.

Brakes are spongy

Did you also bleed the rear brakes? Also try the gravity bleed method working from the right rear wheel, then left rear, right front, then left front. Be SURE to keep the master cylinder full at all times while bleeding.

Spongy peddle on a civic 04 after replaceing disks pads and calapers

There are one of two problems. First your lines or calipers are leaking. Second your power brake booster has a hole in the diaphragm and needs to be replaced. Look on the firewall it will be a round metal container.

How do you replace front brake pads

Ery easy.. Take out the tire. Most car loosen up two bolts/screw on the end and slide the brake pads out/in. If you take out the whole thing then you'll need to open the brake line behind with 10mm to loosen up the what push the brake. Now very very important. Bleed the the brake if it's spongy after installing new brakes.

2003 rav 4, just replaced front calipers and pads, after bleeding the line,peddle was spongie, bled all four lines, peddle still spongie, do I need the engine running to properly bleed the lines, and since...

I would bleed the rears too especially if the brake fluid reservoir drained empty. Also you may need to drive the vehicle to seat the brake pads. Check and see how the pedal feels initially before you road test to make sure you don't need to pump the brakes in order to stop. if you do then re bleed all four wheels.If you don't have to pump the pedal and it just feels spongy then try going around the block a few times and see if the pedal stiffens up after the pads have seated.

Spongy brakes on a 1992 honda civic

You have to bleed all the air out of the system, if you did then your rotors may need to changed. But if they are spongy it's air in the lines.

Brakes are still spongy after changing the pads, one caliper, and master cylinder. bled front brakes.

I just went to Brake Masters this morning and had them replace the Master Cylinder since I was experiencing the pedal very spongy and going to the floor. When they replaced the Master Cylinder and they gave me back the car, the brakes were still spongy and going to the floor. I addressed this to them and they took another look at it, but when I took it for a second time, the brakes were extremely spongy. It was almost like they gave me back my car in worst condition to when I brought it in. Can you help?

The new pads may require a few kilometers of riding before they bed into the new disks.
Failing this, try reverse bleeding of your brakes. Use a large syringe and tube. Fill the syringe with brake fluid, being careful to remove all air from the syringe and tube. Connect to bleed nipple, and with the brake lever fluid reservoir cap removed, compress the brake fluid back up to the reservoir. Your syringe will need to be large enough to contain more fluid than caliper and line combined for this procedure.

SOURCE: Spongy brake pedal even after ABS bleed and base brake bleed.

Did you adjust the rear shoes out? If the rear drum brakes are out of adjustment they will give you a lot of pedal travel. If the pads are worn have no fear of that U-CLIP brake spring, just change one shoe at a time. Take the spring off one side, change the shoe, put the spring back on the post and do the same to the other shoe, no problem.

So long as the brake booster is working, test it by turning on the engine, press the brake pedal all the way down, then shut off engine keeping your foot on the brake pedal, if the pedal comes up slightly pushing against your foot then the booster IS working.

Did you BLEED the brakes??????
