Hi I am not sure what you mean? If the brake pedal goes too far down there is probably air in the hydraulic system. Have you adjusted the brake shoes after refitting the new cylinder?
Sometimes it helps if you adjust the shoes tight against the drum before attempting to bleed the system.
You have bled all four wheels I hope, as air can get in and cause the problem you appear to be describing.
Regards Kels. |
