Just did a full rotor, caliper and pad change on fellow digester Don
Suiters Pristine Milano Gold Auto.  Everything with the job went o.k
except that now I can't get a pedal back.  The pedal does not engage
until
3/4.

What I have done,

Manualy bleed rear and front brakes,

Pressure bleed by presurizing system with air.

Double checked pad clearance which is good.


What did I forget to do.  I am quite sure that there is not any more air

in the system but why am I losing pressure??  Is there some trick that I

am too ignorant to understand here.  Please help if you can.  THis
actually happened to me when I did a job on a GTV-6 last december and I
could not resolve the problem. Yet, the same job on my verde with the
dreaded abs took two manual bleeds for full pedal to return!


Thanks

I don't have experience with the Milano brakes, do have experience with
other cars. If air gets into the master cylinder on some cars, the
master cylinder needs to be bled separately. Procedures vary, but the
ones with which I am most familiar are bleeding on the bench or using
the brake line connectors at the m/c like bleed screws.

Some m/c's are self bleeding (like some British cars I've worked on),
but it takes several cycles of opreation to clear the air out.
