OK, OBVIOUSLY no negative to the calipers. Here's the deal..... removed the 911 rear calipers (well for that matter the entire swing arms) but I just let the brake fluid lines hang and drain into jars. Finally got my swing arms mods done and now putting on the new calipers. Filled the brake resevoir up and had all 4 wheels off the car. Used my handy dandy brake sucker pump and had fluid running to all four bleeders on the rear (2 each for a caliper) and then did the fronts. Had to refill a couple of times because I was pulling some darker fluid until it was clear. Went into the cab and hit the breaks. Nothing.... I mean NADA. Pumped like a 100 times to no avail.
RE-DID the entire process again. NADA and I mean nothing. So, I'm wondering if my master has gone south in this time line?? and why?? Seems the only logical answer at this point. Anyone have any ideas? Dave |

Ok, bench bleed time. I've read some posts that have me so confussed it's not even funny. Is there a simple way to do this while the MC is in the car?

Dave Do the simple thing, get an assistant and bleed the whole system the old fashioned way. In the future when you have to remove any caliper, wheel cylinder, hose or pipe from a working system push the brake pedal down about an inch and prop it in that position. By doing this you will prevent the system from draining and you will simplify the bleeding procedure. |
