    brake pushrod length

    Having trouble getting brakes bled and have done pressure bleeding of calipers and line so pretty sure those
    are all full but bled the master and could not get full stroke even with pushrod backed almost all out. Can be complicated by number of master cyl spacers FFR supplied and whether you used any or all. Even with rod as long as I can get, still have 1/4+ in of freeplay and not sure I any getting the full stroke I need to properly bleed master. MY pr length is 5.6 in , tip to c/l of clevis hole. Ideas??
    Thanks.

    turns out a better bleed of master fixed the problem. You have to be very slow in pushing down and releasing the pedal when bleeding to give time for fluid to move thru tiny hole in master. Too fast may give air. When done, pedal was rock hard without
    any further bleeding of lines to calipers.
