Alright, so the brakes on the Ranger feel funky. It'll stop the truck but the pedal goes to the floor. When you first hit the brakes they have a little stopping power but then the pedal gives away and stops braking until you push farther and then you get braking power. If you push it to the floor or close to it the truck stops really quickly. So until you get to the bottom of the stroke you dont have a whole lot of braking power...have I lost you yet? So I started out by checking the front pads and they still have a lot of life in them. So I decided to bleed the brakes thinking maybe there was air in the line. I couldnt get the passanger read bleeder screw open so I couldnt bleed it. But I bled all 3 other tires. It started out with a nasty dark brown color and I went until it was an almost clear amber color. But still the pedal is no where near firm. Though I didnt bleed the master I wasnt sure if I could screw something up and I couldnt search this site since I just made this account a few minutes ago.
So what should I do? Should I go and bleed the master? I didnt check the rear shoes, could that be the problem? Or is the master itself dead?
