I am having some issues with my brakes. Yesterday i installed four new EBC dimpled and slotted Rotors and Greenstuff EBC pads. We loosened the front brake lines to be able to remove the rotors and pads. We did not loosen the the rear brake lines. We did bleed the brakes without disconnecting the battery but no air bubbles came out of the lines. So, when i tried braking, my were not working until i pumped the brake 2 to 3 times, hence i have air in the line.
So, we disconnected the battery and bleed the brakes and i was able to get my brakes to brake a little bit but the brake was way to soft. We bleed the brakes five to six more times and each time the brake got a little better but still very soft. Do i need to continue bleeding the brakes or is there something wrong with the ABS system or should i at this point take the car to the dealer and have them bleed the system and pay $139. What should i do?

 

tap your calipers with a rubber mallet. That could loosen up any trapped air bubbles.

 

make sure you are bleeding BOTH bleeders on EACH caliper. do the outside first, then the inside. the bleeding order is right-rear, front-left, rear-left, front-right. make sure your car is level.

also, during the bleeding process, make sure the filler cap is on tight. only open it when you need to fill again (DO NOT let the level get below the MIN line). repeat the process 5-10 PER WHEEL.

this procedure from Stoptech may help. don't pay attention to their bleeding order. the order that i said is straight out of the FSM.
