Hey I put new brake rotors in last week, pads too.
I bled them 2days ago, but their still not braking for me?

It's like I have to pump them for a solid stop,
Do you think my Booster, or my Master Cylender would cause this?
if not, got any input?

ALSO, My e-brake is BARELY working.
it's VERY weak, like if im on the slightest slant usually an e-brake would hold, but it doesn't. although it does hold a little bit???

btw my car is an 80 12a RX7
if that helps at all.

I'm not sure why you would bleed your brakes after installing brake rotors and pads unless you were just going to change out the fluid at that time.

The ebrake works off of the rear brakes. They need to be inspected. If they are worn then replace. If not you have to adjust them. I do not know if they are adjusted the same way as the 79.
Did you bleed the rear also?

RX7KENN

No there was no valve to bleed the rear?
we looked all over???

yeah, we changed the break fluid.
didn't flush it, but we added new fluid.
and topped it off, and we really gotta pump the brakes hard to get them goin good?

You have air in the system. The rear is bleed at the right side or passenger side. This bleeds both of the rear brakes.

Should be near the wheel cylinder.

Okay thanks Doctor, Your the man buddy.
I'll post up, see if it works.

Don't forget to check and adjust those rear brakes as needed. They are sort of a pain but without them in proper adjustment you don't have adequate brakes. :-)

If you don't have a repair manual then download the FSM via trochoids link for the procedure.
