In the original version: '81 300TD Changed master cylinder No matter how much I bled the brakes, still got bubbles. Solution: bleed 'me the right way with two people: Problem solved.
Meanwhile... The original reason I changed out the mc was that the pedal was grabbing too close to the floor. Since all the pads had over half their wear left, I figured it had to be the mc. New mc = same problem--The pedal is not getting to braking until it's almost all the way to the floor. Sure, it'll lock 'em up on dry pavement, but they don't feel the way my other MBs feel/felt. So, I'm gonna try all new pads and see if that does it. Any other suggestions for those who have traveled this road before me? Many thanks.
