soft brakes
 

My brakes are feeling really soft. There are no visible leaks. I want to check my rear wheel cylinder but i can't get my rear rotors off. What is the trick??? 89 civic hatch

there might be air in the lines. also, when you goto stop, does the car seam to jerk to a side ?

Re:soft brakes
 

i was also thinking of bleeding them

Re:soft brakes
 

Bleed them first, and if that doesn't work, then try taking them apart.

And the problem is.. ? You can't get the drum off?

Re:soft brakes
 

sorry i put rotors....i meant drums

Re:soft brakes
 

most the time there is a lil clip on the stud that holds them in place... oh and make sure THE E-BRAKE IS OFF ;D

Re:soft brakes
 

my brakes are soft everynow and again, just whenever they want. there's a leak somewhere because I have to fill up the reservoir every couple of months. I just press the pedal more and I stop, if it get's too soft just open the door and put your foot on the ground, you'll stop.
