ABS brake bleeding
After draining the brake lines last spring to install SS lines my brakes have
been a little mushy with a low pedal.
I've bled the brakes every which way,( Motive bleeder, gravity), and even replaced the master cylinder.
The calipers have no leaks and are working well.
I've talked with others that have had the same problem ,
no-one seems to have had much luck.
Does anyone know the trick ??

How does the clutch feel? Does it need bleeding as well?
Try bleeding the brakes the old fashion way (2-people) by pumping the pedal...
Where did you get the SS lines? Few years back there were some with a incorrect larger ID floating around... Large ID SS lines will cause the mushy pedal feeling.

Clutch feels good.
The old fashioned pedal pumping method has not been done.
I thought the same thing about the SS lines. I replaced them in the fall with
new lines from Paragon Products. They are very high quality lines.
I have a feeling air is somehow being trapped in the ABS unit.
Will try bleeding the old fashioned way.
