Working on an older hammerhead 80 T. Engine runs great. I had to replace the entire brake system..master cylinder,brake line and caliper. The system is bled. I'm getting fluid out of the caliper but pads still won't engage the rotor. Could there still be air in line even though I'm getting fluid out of the bleeder?
Thanks newbie

How does the pedal feel, hard or soft?

If it's hard, you may have a frozen caliper piston; if it's soft, you still have air in the line...

The third option is the master cylinder is not working...

master cylinder is pushing fluid out of bleeder on caliper...but not a strong stream....there must still be air in the line...pedal is soft
