So I just put a reman master cylinder on my car today. I was in a bit of a rush, but I bench-bled the cylinder, got it on the car, then started bleeding the brakes. I got through almost all of them, then the right front outside srew snapped off. And this caliper is only like 2 years old. what the heck? I'm ticked. So I finished up the bleeding minus that screw, because I had to leave the garage I was using, and now driving the car the brake pedal takes a long distance of travel to do anything. I figure I probably didn't get all the air out of the system, but it seems REALLY spongy all the way down. This is my worst brake experience ever (and I've had 4 or 5 before). Anyways, does this sound like I just have air in the lines, or could the new master cylinder be bad? Also, anyone ever get a broken bleeder screw out? thanks
