Installed a new Ate 17mm Master and rebuilt the right rear caliper. It was sticking on. I have gone around several times bleeding each corner with the pedal method. It still does not feel 100% solid. Any suggestions out there? Maybe air trapped by the top bleeders? I'm using Ate super blue which I found is no longer available (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I did not bench bleed the master.

Are you getting any pedal or is it going all the way to the floor? Did you start bleeding the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder and work your way around to the closest? I had to use a vacuum pump and speed bleeders to do mine when I rebuilt all of the calipers. Stick with it you'll get it.

If feels like the pedal goes further down then I remember. The car was under cover most of the winter, so my memory may not be accurate. I started at the RR, LR, RF, LF. I have done tops and bottoms. Then all kinds of random order chasing an air pocket. Now I'm getting low on my super blue fluid can. I would like to solve this before I run out. It's driveable, but not for confident for panic stopping. |
