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.

You might be pissing up a rope until you get that MC bled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Blunt as ever and I kinda like that,but how about doing one caliper and not the other or did I read wrong,the rest of the system is most likely (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) ,do all once and get it right.....safety is the key issue afterall. Brake bleeding is so covered on here really. Good luck. |

Brake bleeding is so covered on here really. Good luck. I thought my MC was bad, so I replaced that first. My brakes worked fine cold and then after a few miles the pedal went to the floor. A google search told me my MC was bad. I believe what was really happening is the right rear was sticking on and boiling the fluid. It felt like I had the hand brake on when driving. I had the top off last and it smelled like brakes big time. So. I rebuilt the right rear. I'm planning on doing the left now, but I need to solve this bleeding problem first. |
