DS 650 Brake problem..need help fast!!
I went to change out my rear brake pads tonight because they started to feel somewhat mushy...didn't think it would be much of a big deal. Changed the pads and when I went to hit the rear brake lever, it never tightened up...no pressure build up at all. Didn't see anywhere that it was leaking fluid and the rear res. was full. Anyone got any suggestions...leaving for the dunes in 6 days! Is it a bad seal in the rear brake master cylinder?? HELP!!

Yes, Hold pressure on the pedal, open the bleeder screw until the pedal bottoms, close the bleeder screw and then release the pedal. Repeat until you have both clean fluid coming out, AND a solid pedal.
A helper is helpful to hold the pressure while you work the bleeder valve. You can always get a mity vac from Autozone if you cannot manage both tasks alone.
Keep a close eye on the reservoir level while bleeding - you never want it empty or you will have to begin again.

It means that either you have a MAJOR leak (You should see a puddle on the floor), or an air bubble trapped somewhere.
You want to Bleed the line to remove the air bubble. You may have to pump it several times to bring the pads to the rotor in order to give yourself something to push against (This is typical of nearly every brake pad replacement on every vehicle with hydraulic brakes). Once you have the slightest pressure (May not feel like hardly anything), you wil be able to bleed the line.
