brake pedal
I finally fixed my brake line!
It was harder than it seemed. i took out the fuel line that goes to the chambers? and squeezed my hand through to remove the other end of the pipe that connects to the proportional value i think it is.
Now, my biggest concern is that my brake pedal is so spongy.
I mean the car doesn't start braking until 3-4 inches into it.
Lets say from the top of the pedal to the very bottom is about 12"., it will start braking after 4" into it. (dont think dirty now )
I put new brake fluid and bled the brakes 3x2. so pumped each side 3x then did it again. so i pumped all wheels 6x in total.
I checked for any possible leaks but there isn't any.
What could be the cause of this?
Also if i plan to bleed again, i'm wondering if i can mix honda with toyota's DOT3 fluids

just wanted to update you guys that the brakes are finally stiff.
test drove the car after bleeding each wheel 6-8 times then bled them again 6-8times to get the stiffness i desired.
I went through 2 bottles in total.
Thanks for the help guys!
