I have tried bleedling my brakes with three different types of bleeders and I have the same issue each time. I can get all the calipers to bleed properly except the passenger rear brake. Using the hand pump type of bleeder, I have pumped the right rear brake for a very long time and I still get bubbles. It never seems to change. I wasn't sure if I had speed bleeders or not so I removed the bleeder and found it was slightly bent (probably from over tightening). I put a new bleeder in and restarted the process- no change. Any ideas? I have not seen any fluid leaks. I have not tried to drive the car yet due to some engine issues. They were rebuilt fairly recently (by me)- is it possibel that I screwed something up? Seems to me that I would see a leak somewhere if I screwed up the rebuild.

Since the bleeder seal is at the cone, put teflon tape just on the threads to stop air bubbles. OR Buy speed bleeders.

QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Jun 5 2012, 09:09 PM)  put teflon tape just on the threads to stop air bubbles I haven't found this to be 100% reliable. But it's a cheap option that's worth a shot. |
