Cold and snow today so when it warms a bit.

Thx....Mike

Also.....Are you using silicone brake fluid??? That will also make your peddle a little "softer" than normal. I was having the same issue with my Mercury.....BUT Mine ended up just being "lots" of air in the lines!!!! SO i ended up bleeding mine 4 times to get all the air out, finally a really nice peddle even with silicone fluid!!!
