    Does anybody have the Chrysler LX Factory Service Manual

    I need to know if there is some extra special way to bleed my brakes. I changed out my pads and rotors then did the brake bedding technique described elsewhere on the forum.

    I next pumped out all of the old fluid and even elevated my car in the front while doing the fronts and in the rear while doing the rears but I still have soft pedal feel.

    I'm stumped. I bled them 3 times and there is still no improvement. I'm not sure if its air in the ABS or what but this taking all my wheels off BS is getting tiring.

    ANY SUGGESTIONS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.... Its starting to get me down.

    I tried calling Daimler Chrysler Publications 440-572-7240

    Hopefully, its simply because I raised the wrong end. Step 1, sentence 1, figure 1. The manual sure is handy but I wonder if its different for AWD's.

    Anyway the starscan seems extreme but I suppose thats what they are getting at when they say step....

    10. If equipped with antilock brakes, the hydraulic control unit may need to be bled, then rebleed base brakes.
