Hi everyone. I have just replaced my rear calipers with newer ones. And I have bled the brakes for both rear sides. The car stops fine, but the pedal is very spongy! I know i let some air into the system when I disconnected the rear brake lines, but shouldn't bleeding them get rid of the air? Am i missing something here?

Thanks in advance!!!

2 things, it may take a few miles to bed them in, I assume you put new pads.
Or if they are the old pads, make sure that they are not worn diagonally.
If all checks out, rebleed until you get a good pedal. Again, I assume all is good up front?

Hi, and yes I put new pads on too. Anyways, I re-bled all the brakes and now everything is back to normal! Aparently, air likes to hide everywhere

Thanks for your help!
