Brakes

We have a 1996 F-25 2wD with a 460 engine. The brake pedal is going clear to the floor, I was convinced it was the master cylinder so we installed a refurbished one from auto zone, we bled the M/C but the pedal is still going to the floor board, it may be a bad M/C ? any ideas?

Thanks

Jerry

You may have gotten a bad one from the store!.
Also chk all wheels for leaks and all brake lines.
Did you bleed at each wheel also?

Thanks for responding Rich, I had a feeling it might be a bad refurbished MC, but we did not bleed the lines at each wheel but I will today when I put the new MC on, thanks again.

You have to bleed from the farthest points(when ever you break any brake lines ), meaning all wheels,you have air trapped in the system.
It was problaby that and not the MC.
