Nissan Pathfinder Brake problem

It still sounds like it needs to be bled, using a different method. Also we have a saying in my shop....."Just because the part is new doesn't mean it isn't bad". Wish I had a dollar for every new part that was junk out of the box. Doesn't seem to matter how good a brand is, they all seem to have quality control problems.
Now back to the bleeding... there are several ways to bleed brakes. Power bleeding, bottle bleeding, reverse bleeding, gravity bleeding etc. Don't know what method he used but it sounds like time to try something else. Time to think out of the box.We have even had to jacke one end of the vehicle up as high as possible and let it set, then gentley tap the pedal and let it set again then bleed. This lets the air work its way to the highest spot in the system so it can be pushed out with the bleeding. Some systems just aren't designed right when it comes to repairs, but yet work ok in everyday applications.

Also, though this is hard to see, with the vehicle sitting level have some one push the pedal down once and hold it while someone else looks at the fluid level. If the level drops (slightly) then returns, the master is bypassing and bad. Fluid should drop and remain as the air is compressed and displaced with the pads/shoes moving. This is hard to see but is seeable.



this comes with 40+ years of import service experience and had to do things you wouldn't believe to repair these vehicles!
