Hello,

Keep in mind that a spongy pedal can also be due to a leak in the system, low brake fluid level or a bad master cylinder.

Here is a guide of best practices for brake bleeding:

Depending on if this vehicle has ABS or non-ABS brakes the bleeding procedure is little different.

I have attached the procedure for both.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
