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. |

QUOTE There is only one bleeder on my calipers. Gotta ask - because there are no pictures - you've got 'em mounted with the bleeders up, yes ? Right on the right, left on the left ? You wouldn't be the first... There's brake-port-plugs with the conical seats. Once upon a time I knew the VW part number. I'll try to post a picture tonight - but Feb 22 is National Margarita Day so I can make no promises :-) |

I'll try to post a picture tonight... Well - there is no Cointreau nor Triple Sec so we'll have to have two 'ritas tomorrow. Meanwhile I am drinking my Cabo Wabo Blanco (it was on sale...) neet. Was able to get this pic tho... Interestingly, the conical part is on the _inside_. But they have served me well through several 'partial brake install' adventures... |
