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). |

Fix the frozen caliper. It is causing your issues. Did you push the pistons back and install new pads at one point ? If you did... this can cause the pistons to hang up if it has been hanging out of the caliper on worn out pads for any time.
