So I just put all four calipers back on my car, filled the reservoir with fluid and pumped the pedal a few times to see if there were any leaks around the pistons. The system is tight, no leaks anywhere. I started bleeding the pedals in the order given by Haynes, and now all the rotors won't spin because the pistons won't retract and the brake pedal barely moves. What gives? I feel like I'm making a novice mistake somewhere.
Thanks in advance. |

With the one wheel loose and the others still tight says something is wrong more central to all of the calipers, master cylinder or ?. I'll let someone with more experience answer up some advice. Maybe PM Eric Shea as he is the brakes guy.
And, the rear calipers must be adjusted after installation of pads. Eric,s site PMB Performance , has a step by step how to do that. Tom |
