I went ahead and replaced my calipers, rotors and pads. With doing so I disconnected my brake lines from the brakes. I then went ahead and put the system back together and then bled the brake system after everything was intact. At no point did I depress the brake pedal when the braking system was not fully put back together.
After bleeding the brakes with a speed bleeder and then by hand to make sure I started the car up. Guess what... No brake pressure. So I then shut the car off and pumped the pedal 4 times. Brake pressure is now back. I then start the car again and no brake pressure... This seems to happen immediatly when the car is started that I lose pressure.
I then assume its the master cylinder, so I replace it. I followed the bench bleeding to the "T". I then bleed the system again and the same results happen again.
I then have one guy bleeding, one guy pumping the brakes and one guy watching/filling the master cylinder. The guy at the master cylinder says that he can hear air getting pushed out of the master brake cylinder, but it doesnt sound like its sucking any in to the master cylinder. But he says he can see the fluid lowering as we are bleeding the system. I am the one releasing the brake bleeder valve and all bubbles are removed from the system.
What would cause the brake fluid in the master cylinder to bubble due to air escaping through the master cylinder???
Thanks for any help provided!!
