When i got this bronco, the brakes were soft.  ran alot of new brake lines, replaced hoses and brakes still soft.  replaced rear ***** cylinders and master cylinder.  Brakes are still soft.  Bled many times, all new brake fluid flushed to each wheel.

Everything is functioning as should, brake light went out after master cylinder replacement but if i mash the brakes while rolling, its not a abrupt stop like it should be.

Hey Don,

Have you adjusted the rear brakes properly?  If out of adjustment, the pedal will feel softer and have more travel befor becoming firm as it should.

Good Luck
