done

pump pedal till hard then place a piece of wood on pedal and bottom of front seat leave over night,next morning remove wood pedal should be hard as long as there are no leaks in system.it works by displacing air in system i have used this method for years

hope it helped, January 2011

Get a brake hose clamp and indevidually clamp off a brake hose, each time testing the pedal, this should tell you where the fault lies
