Brake help

[redman]

Just bought a 74 cj5. PO said that he just replaced the wheel cylinders and bleed the lines. The brakes just stop working. Do they just need to be bleed again??

Can you pump the brakes several times and have them start working?

Are you loosing any brake fluid (I.e. does the level in the reservoir go down over time)?

Terry's questions are right on...sounds like a fluid issue. Bleeding the brakes gets the air out of the system...the only way air gets into the system is by displacing fluid.You have to find where the fluid is going(leaking) & go from there.
