Thanks, when I put the new hoses and t valve on, I willd try to bleed them and maybe try that. Thanks again

Unfortunately no, haven't messed it in a couple days. I ordered the front hose assembly with T valve so waiting on it. Just have the feeling something is wrong in there. I seen some little pieces of rubber while bleeding. So I will change that out and try it again

Ok thanks, was wondering why it had vent lines. Learn something everyday

Yes, going to try that thanks. This model even has vent line that goes to a wheel cylinder on each side. Cant find a leak in them tho. Not sure why they have vent lines but would think that would only help get air out.

Thank you, worth a try. Hopefully I'll get chance today to try that or try it soon. Just odd if I pinch one side of the line, the lever feels good. Doesn't matter which side. But when both lines are free, the lever gets spongy.

Thanks, I've done both. Just odd if I pinch one side of the lines, either side, they feel good but when one side is released where both sides are free, the lever gets spongy! A pain in the butt. Hoping to mess with it later

Thank you very much! I'll give that a try tomorrow I hope. The thing is cracking me. For some reason I have a feeling something might be wrong at the T. Tomorrow I may try to bleed it from there. I didnt today because it was really tight and didnt want to strip it. Now I'm at the point if it does, I'll just buy a new one. Thinking of getting new hoses for the front even though I see no leaks. For the night because of what someone else mentioned, I strapped the break leaver down to handle bar and just let it sit overnight. Thanks for your help!

Hey guys, I got my daughters bike a 2005 400 Honda rancher. I put on 4 new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and brake pads for the front brakes. Hubs were cleaned very well. The brakes were adjusted where they are rubbing, bleed the brakes a million times, manual and a vacum pump. The master cylinder is good, I pinched the line and it gets hard immediately. I bled from the bleeder valves, the Bango bolts on the hubs and even out the master cylinder bango bolt. If I pinch off one side of the line brakes get hard, either side. When neither line is pinched the brake handle still is soft. If I pump it up a bunch of times it gets hard but after I let it go, its soft again. I am out ideas! Does anyone have any ideals? I see no leaks anywhere, and all connections are tight. I dont know what to try or do. Thanks for any help. Chris
