Default Soft brakes on the R

Hello guys,

I need some ideas...

My 96 R had soft feeling brakes. I looked around and saw the front hoses were cracked, the passenger hoses actually broke when i was inspecting it. I have replaced the the front hoses.

While bleeding the brakes I was getting a lot of air... I think I got it.

However where are the rest of the usual suspects for air in the brake lines?

Thanks,

Sean

Well still have air in the lines... must be getting in somewhere. There are no leaks that I can see. Going to replace the rear lines next.

Maybe the master cylinder?
