I just completed the 5 lug conversion on the front and I can't get any brake pedal pressure. I've bled the system from the back pass. first, driver rear second, front pass. third and front driver last. I have clear fluid all the way through the system and no bubbles.
The front calipers are rebuilt with all new seals. I pressed on the pedal slowly with the bleeder valve open and can see fluid moving towards the catch bottle. There are no leaks anywhere. I'm stumped, I'm wondering if the master went bad somehow and it wont build pressure. They worked great before the conversion. |

Or grab two old brake hard lines from a parts car and do what McMark recommended - for free. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I TIG weld the crimped tubing shut. |

i'm not understanding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) We're using the brake line fittings as plugs by sealing the cut off end of the line. Eric's picture is the cap for a rear caliper inner adjuster - same threads. I like the line fittings better for a pressure application because they have the tapered seat. |
