Getting the Wheeling Fever
I had a soft brake pedal. So I :
1 installed a rebuilt master cylinder (no visable leaks nad new front pads)
2 same4 problem after a few days, so i got another brakes master cylinder.
3 bleeding seems to help for a while, but eventually, pedal goes to the floor.

No leaks from cylinders, new front pads and master. Brakes have been bleed four times. Now what? What is left to do?

Did you bleed the brakes in the correct order?
1-Driver's side rear
2-Passenger's side rear
3-Passenger's side front
4-Driver's side front
5-LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) Above Rear Passenger side drum. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I had the same issue...here's the link
soft pedal....

I tried what everyone said but i'm still having issues...breaking is a little better though. I'll try bleeding the brakes a few more times and see what happens.

Just a thought. If you bled all the brake lines and your still getting a spongy feel then I'd have to say you have a leak somewhere. Take your time and check all your brake lines, it's possible you have a pin hole somewhere. When the brake pedal is applied, the brake lines are under a whole lot of pressure. I guess I'd wipe em' down and have somebody depress the pedal while your under there and look for a wet spot. (no comment) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
