Stiff Brakes On A 2003 T2 Corolla

[HKS_TC_Corolla_GTi]

Guys

I've finally got this 2003 Corolla T2 back together, running sweet, everything works except for the brakes.

The car had been stood for almost two years, so I sanded the rust off the surface of the brake discs and removed all the calipers and made sure they were not seized by pushing them right in. I then bleeded the brakes.

Problem is, the brake pedal is very very stiff, and you have to brake incredibly hard to get the car to stop, not responsive at all and not in a state to drive.

The only thing I can think of now is that the Brake Servo is seized. There is no play in the brake pedal at all, it is stiff all the way but the brake pedal does not go all the way to the floor which is right. Seems the Servo is not assisting.

Can anyone suggest anything to cure this?

Thanks

The car had been stood for almost two years,

So a car that was brand new inturn was then never used!

As for Servo, are you sure its not a pipe/hose/tube blocked going into it/out of the servo housing (especially if car has been stood)

Also you did remember to clean rust off inside face of disc as well?

Yes, the car was involved in an accident, then laid in someones yard for almost two years - only has 50 miles on the odo and looks it.

I did clean the inside of the discs too, never thought about a blockage in the pipes though. I will check that thanks.
