The air in brake system results in spongy pedal. In order to compress this air in the brake systems follow proper bleeding procedures and sequences. The hydraulic components are lightly tapped with plastic mallet to free air bubbles from inner walls of calipers and wheel cylinders.

A spongy pedal is an indication that air is still present in the brake system. Follow proper brake bleeding procedures and sequences. Use a plastic mallet to lightly tap hydraulic components to help free entrapped air bubbles from inner walls of calipers and wheel cylinders.
