"I have a hood on my Citicar that I just Pop open to get to the wiring, master cylinder, battery etc."
I'm wondering if you could post pictures of your hood opening???

Mine is still missing the complete pedal and reseivor assembly so I really have troubles.? HOWEVER those of you having trouble bleeding the brakes might try gravity bleeding them.
open the wheel bleed screws after filling the resivor and just leave them open the air will be forced out with the weight of the fluid. Keep an eye on the level if possible. It just might work for you.? P.S. anyone have an extra master cylinder and pedal assembly
lying around

Best way I found is to use two people. The resivor is so small that you have to keep it toped off after 3 pumps of the brakes when flushing. Also put a old shirt around the
?bottom of it. I spilled fluid out of it while filling since your arm is in such a weird spot. Also I removed the driver door to make it a little easier to get to the resivor.

I have the same problem.? I replaced everything on all 4 wheels but I must have a bunch of air in the lines after trying to bleed them over and over.

When I bought my CCar, the brakes (while they worked) weren't good and I figured they could use some work. Here's what I've done so far:
-
Replaced the master cylinder. I did bench-bleed it.
-
(tried to) Rebuild the left rear brake cylinder. It was leaking, so I got it new rubber, honed it, and put it back together. It still leaks, but not as bad now... The internal metal piece was
bent out of shape on the new rubber on the side that leaks (Still). I wonder if that it the cause of the leak.
-
I adjusted all the brakes, though I've never done it before. They worked much better afterwards (testing the car at 1-5MPH rolling).
Here's the problem--despite everything I've done, the brakes somehow manage to be
worse than when I bought the car! Other than that leaking cylinder, I don't see anything wrong with the system. The pads and drums should be fine, the car has under 2K on it.
Anyone have any tips for how to get the brakes back to working condition?
(To give an idea of how bad they are: 10MPH, foot down to the floor, and the brakes do
almost nothing. If I was on level ground, I might stop after 20-30 feet.)
