brake help

[AdrianCaF91]

I grinded my rear calipers then I decided to paint them ... Took off all the calipers then I put them back painted then I started to bleed them till i saw no more air or bubbles . The pedal is hard till half ways and just gets soft.. I bleed it a couple of times more still the same........what can be the problem?

Ok, did you bleed all 4 calipers? Even though you only removed the rear calipers you still could have gotten air into the fronts. Are you sure when you get to the bottom and the pedal is going to the floor you are just not compressing the spring in the booster? Every brake pedal in modern vehicles will go to the floor if you push hard enough because of this spring. Get back to me with your findings and you're welcome.

I've heard some have had to cycle the abs module to bleed correct. You bled all four bleeders up front?? Not just 2? There are two on each front cAliper.
Gravity bleeding also works great. Always keep reservoir full while bleeding or you'll suck more air back into the system.

I like to just squeeze all,the fluid back to the reservoir with a c-clamp

Or leave them connected while grinding

Open the bleeder first then press on the pedal. Make sure you have a container with fluid in it and a hose attached to the bleeder. When you bleed it, press pedal down, close bleeder, repeat until no bubbles. Sounds like you are just not bleeding them enough and still have air in the line.

Bleeding order:
RR, LR, RF, LF

Once again remember there are four bleeders up front two in rear! These all must be bled
