    need help with soft brake pedal

    I changed rotors, calipers and pads on rear of 93 chevy lumina. It brakes
    fine but I need to push the pedal a lot further than I think I should before
    the brakes works. I bleed all four calipers and the master cylinder. Any
    ideas? I haven't adjusted the parking brake, would that help? Thanks

    You will need to adjust the rear caliper park brake lever properly. On
    a vehicle of that vintage, the auto adjust feature of the rear disc brake
    calipers often don't work as they should. So you need to manually
    pump the brake levers at the rear calipers until you get the pads
    sitting right up against the rear rotors. Then you should have a
    reasonable pedal again.
