Power bleeding - still soft
Today I attempted to install my Goodridge lines and do a brake flush. The front lines went on fine, but couldn't get the rear hard line to budge
Its almost rounding off; I'm planning to use a crowfoot instead of a flare wrench next week to see if that works.
Anyway, I went ahead and bleed the system with the Motive power bleeder. Everything checked out fine, solid blue brake fluid was streaming out. When i first sat in the car the pedal was rock hard, it was sweet. But after I started the ignition and tested the brake pedal it felt very soft. The first 50% of pedal travel is nothing and empty space. What went wrong? Did I have to pump the pedal between and pressurize the system when I powerbled?
