Okay, so A-Aron is over here trying to help me fix my taildragger. We got the system bled, but theres not much brake pressure (none on the first pump and the second pump has minor pressure) (master cylinder (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)). There are no leaks from the bleeder valves (that we can tell), and its full of fluid in the resivoir. We bled at each corner 3 times (at least) with no bubbles left and only clear fluid remaining.
AND we just discovered my front right is stuck now too. It wasnt stuck before (before I tried to fix my brakes), but now it has pressure. WTF is wrong? Any takers? Would one bad caliper cause this? There doesnt appear to be any leaking, but maybe its seized? Or is this a master cylinder issue? Please help. I'll buy the first person that helps me a man size portion of wine and cheese (its a 912) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif). |

I am no expert, but I chased a phantom brake issue for awhile too.
Every know and then, I would loose pressure the the pedal would go to the floor. No leaks, nothing. after replacing a ton a stuff, the only definetive thing I found wrong was a single piston stuck on one caliper. not exactly sure if this was my root cause, but problem is gone. my .02, good luck |
