ok my brakes are soft and spongy. fairly recent parts (a bit less than a year) LR wheel cylinder and backing plate, turned drums, spring kit, shoes, recent front calipers and pads, hoses, front lines and rotors. today i bled each corner by jacking up the rear of the car, starting engine, pumping breaks and wedging a wrench between the brake pedal and the lip where the fusebox cover goes on, depressing the brake pedal. i then jacked up each front corner so i could jam my head in the fenderwell and bleed the front calipers.


im going to attempt the master cylinder, im a visual person... and my mitchel online doesnt show what bolts to remove, or show exactly how to do this im sort of worried about screwing this up. (being a long weekend and all no stores are open) anyway i got my bottle of brake fluid, and ive done lots of searches, im supposed to unbolt the mc from the brake booster.... unbolt it from the combination valve and tilt it down toward the front of the car and fingerbang the piston?

doesnt seem to diffacult. im envious of all the new cars i drive with awesome brakes.

here are some pics, please excuse the wet rustprotection (i drive in snow) and the remaining old brakeline thats just laying there.

oh and my fluid is red and prbably needs to be changed

 

with the nose on a slight decline i removed the 3 bolts, the 2 of the master cylinder, and the 1 on the bracket to the combination valve, and i tipped it up and shook it a bit while pushing the prop valve in and out.
was alot easier than i thought. also jacked the front in the air and adjusted the steering gear. about to go drive and see how i did.

 

ok guys... the brakes arent any better.... what should i do next?

im gonna go see if i can get on of those v12 pressure bleeders maybe?
is the ls1 master cylinder a direct bolt on? how do i test my brake booster?
