Today I changed some lines in my truck. I changed the LF that goes from the ABS box to the wheel and a section from the ABS box to the rear. While I was doing the work my master cylinder drained out from one of my lines leaking that I left hang. So I put it all back together, bleed it as usual and my brakes fade like a bitch. There is tons of air trapped somewhere. It makes a gurling sound in either the master cylinder or the brake booster every time you press the pedal. I replaced the LF caliper, and the entire line from the ABS box to the wheel including the flexible line. If I have the truck off I pump the brakes and they get stiff with 1 pump, but if I have it running, it goes straight to the floor. There is no leaks, I double and triple checked every one. I bled all wheels at least 15 times. My dad recommended that I try taking loose the connections right on the master cylinder as I bled them, but that didn’t help. My dad is dead set that my problem is that I did not coil the lines I put in. The origional ones had 1 coil in them before they made their runs… I didn’t put the coil back in when I bent them. I don’t see how that could be causing my problems, but he insists that is what it is. In any case, i’m out of ideas. Any one with some insight? ---

Thanks Brian. I swapped the master cylinder and noticed a huge improvement immediately. I bled them and will bleed the ABS how you told me once I get it on the road. They’ll stop me now! ---
