Fix Spongy Brake Pedal: Quick Tip If Nothing Works.

*This is a last resort repair option*

If you've recently done a brake bleed/flush, but nothing you do fixes a spongy pedal, watch this video.

Recently, I replaced my old front brake caliper due to a leaky bleeder screw. However, the brand new caliper I just bought was having the exact same issues.

I spent 2 days and $50 on two brake fluid bottles to resolve a leaky brake system. However, nothing was working.

I didn't want to do more labor and remove the newly bought caliper to do an exchange at the store. So I just put in gasket sealer inside the bleeder threads to fix the issue. All you need to do is put a small amount around the top part of the bleeder screw (not all the way inside the system).

It's been over 5 months and brakes are working fine; still good braking power.

So if nothings working for you, this may help you.

But a better solution may have been to use an extra matching bleeder screw; which you can ask your parts store if they have some available.
