Master cylinder rebuild?
Hey everyone!
So I changed my brake fluid and had trouble bleeding the brakes.
I had tried almost every way possible, but the brake leaver still was soft and had very little braking power.
Today I noticed that air bobbles are coming up in the master cylinder,
air bubbles came up when I pressed the brake leaver.
Also I heard a "squishy, wet sound" when the brake leaver is being pressed.
I discovered that the rubber seal has a tear in it.
Maybe someone has had the same problem?

It does sound like master cylinder rebuild time has come for you. The rebuild kit is not expensive and can be obtained online or ordered from a local shop. It is very important that all of the parts be in the correct order and installed without pinching. The bore of the master needs to be checked to see if any corrosion is present. A shop rebuild is a good idea if you are not confident of working on the thing that may save your life.
