JK Brake Pedal - very soft and bleeding hasn't done it yet

[Ryan Matthes]

Wondering if anyone else has been experiencing or experienced this. I recently changed to SS braided lines, no improvement. Been reading about needing to bleed the ABS system, and likely need to take to dealership to do that, but looking for any input.

Thanks

Was the pedal soft before you changed the lines? Braided lines won't really make the pedal feel harder. If you've bleed the lines enough and kept the reservoir full than I would bet the master cylinder is going bad.

Eric - thanks for the reply. Yes, soft before the lines were changed, waaaay softer than my prior JK and softer than my friend's that I drove around yesterday. It is at the dealership this morning for a diagnosis / ABS bleed. We'll see what happens. If nothing improves it, I may do the Master Cylinder upgrade and the Teraflex big brake kit.
