Brakes bled and pedal goes to the floor but I do stop... sort of.
#48
Ok. Back to my brake problem....

The rears take some effort to turn by hand. They will turn by hand but not spin on their own.

I re-bled the system. No air noted.

Two things I noticed: The pin on the front on the proportioning valve ( the one you are supposed to pull when bleeding the front) is extended already. A few weeks ago I do remember being able to pull it out for bleeding and not it will not retract. I am not sure if that is an issue I think that just says there is pressure going to the fronts right off the bat instead of slight after the rears.

Also, when bleeding, the rears seem to be easier to bleed than the fronts. It takes more pedal effort to bleed the fronts.

Other than that, the rears do not spin when placed in gear and the pedal is applied however, the fronts do. Again, this is in FWD only and RWD only modes.
