Hard brake pedal

Post by assembled »

Hi,
my BX has a very hard brake pedal. It is comparable to a regular assisted brakes without assistance. Simply resting foot on a brake pedal gives 0 braking force and to brake hard I need to step real hard. Front brakes have about 2kN braking force and rear 0,6-0,8kN. I have not yet bled the system after some rework, but brakes were like this before rework as well. I had dissembled the brake valve and there is a chance I rebuilt it wrong. What can cause such symptoms?
