240zwannabe Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 first, i want to say i did search but couldn't find any threads with similar symptoms. alright, heres the deal, calipers, drums, stainless steel brake lines are all new. i've bled the brakes so that absolutely no air is in the lines, the pedal has pressure but it doesn't come to a stopping point when max pressure is acheived, it just goes to the floor. all threads look to be just fine and all flares are at the SAE standard of 37 degrees. can somebody please help me? ps: i'm also having a similar problem with the clutch but i'll post that in the drivetrain thread, so if any of you hydraulic gurus could also please check that out for me also please it would be much appreciated.

EMWHYR0HEN Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If your sure you used a 37 degree flare, You've used the wrong flare. A double or inverted flare is a 45 degree flare the one you used sounds like an AN type. Since your also having the same problem with the clutch, I would check all of your new fittings for leaks.

240zwannabe Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 45 degree flare is for AN fittings used in aircraft. 37 degree flares are used for fittings in cars...i am sure of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Actually, you've got that backwards. AN uses a 37 degree flare, and SAE uses 45 degree. Either way, If the flares were the issue you'd have visible leakage. Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zwannabe Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 no, this master cylinder was already in the car, i'll try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
