Posted earlier on the beginning of this problem. Started after I finished installing front parabolic springs and shocks.
Brakes went soft requiring a push or two to firm up. Then goes soft again. Have replaced the flex lines and isolated the problem to the left front wheel. When I clamp the line the system is fine. Therefore further isolating it to the hardware below the flex line. When I bleed I bleed and bleed and bleed and get small bubbles. All other wheels bleed fine.
All joints are tight and no leakage at any of them or on the cylinder. My small and perhaps ignorant mind therefore concludes that the slave is pulling air in when compressing but not leaking when pressurized leading to either rebuilding or replacing the cylinder although it is quite new.
Any other conclusions before I pull the trigger?
