914World.com _ 914World Garage _ brake bleeding

Posted by: hndyhrr Sep 29 2014, 09:58 AM

Pumpkin is a 70 1.7, Put on the new back brake disc, new pads, and figured out why back one hung up, piece of metal from old gear for setting vent clearance. got new one (gear) from Eric.

Question is, which order to do what, set vent clearance, bleed brakes, re check vent clearance?

Thanks

Clamp the rotor to the hub with 2 or more lug bolts and spacers as necessary, set the venting clearance to .004", rechecking each side after the other is set. Bleed the brakes rt rear, left rear, right front, left front. Run a minimum of 8 oz. through each caliper.

Repete at least twice to get all the air out.

Set clearance to 4 thou?
i read 8. Could this explain why my pedal was not at the top?
i Think so.
