Answer 3

if you have air in your brake lines, you need to first check fluid in the master cylinder. symptoms of air in lines include reduced effectiveness of brakes, soft or no feel in pedal. remedy is to bleed each wheel starting at the wheel farthest from master cylinder, typically you would start at right rear, then left rear, right front, left front. bleeding effectively requires two people, one under the vehicle, one at brake pedal
