The brakes need to bleed because there is air in the brake lines. First, =
check the slave and master cylinders to see if you can see any fluid =
leaks. Bleed each slave cylinder making sure not to introduce any air at =
the nipple. If the problem persists you will need to rebuild the =
cylinders. There are kits do that and it is not difficult. The hardest =
task is to remove and reinstall the master cylinder.

Subject: [Healeys] Brake pedal problem
=20
Greetings Healeyphiles,
After a long winter's rest, I drove my BJ8 for the first time this =
year and noticed immediately that I had to depress the brake pedal far =
down before braking began, but if I pumped the pedal a few times the =
brake pedal commenced functioning more promptly. This improvement was =
fleeting but reproducible. The brake fluid reservoir is topped off. What =
might be the cause and solution of this problem. Thanks for all help.
