Customer Question

I have installed the brake booster on my 1969 Ford f250. I have bled the brake lines but the brake pedal still goes almost all the way to the floor before the brakes engage. Should I continue to bleed the lines. It was getting better as I was doing it.

hi there thanks for that

since you have only done this once and it is getting better
i would continue sometimes it takes awhile to get all the air out

if you want assistance you can get a brake bleeder tool from napa for about 20.00

if it continues getting better each time that is normal
just continue bleeding
