2000 Ford Mustang Lagging - Chassis, Suspension & Steering
Question: The pedal goes to the floor without locking the brakes. Have vacuum bled the system twice and replaced also the Master cylinder (twice) All this began when we replaced the front pads. This was done in a timely fashion and the calipers and rotors are in excellent condition. When finished, we get a soft, really soft, pedal. On advice, we replaced the Mstr Cyl, twice in case the first one was bad. I'm out of ideas, and the rear pads/calipers/rotors are also in excellent shape. Any ideas?

Owner: 3.8L V-6 no ABS.
Technican: Try locking off the front brake hoses before the caliper.
If you now have a hard pedal, release the front brakes individually to determine which caliper is causing all the trouble. Look for air in the caliper, bleed screw pointed up on each caliper, make sure the pads are seated properly, make sure the caliper is snug on the brake pads and rotors. 1/8th inch gap for any reason in the brake pad area will make a VERY low pedal.
If your pedal is still soft, lock off the lines at the master cylinder. If it now OK, check everything between the master and the calipers. If still soft, then check to make sure the master is installed properly on the booster, make sure the master is bled at itself.
Owner: Problem is solved. Adjustment was needed on the actuator rod.
