Front Brake Issue, 914 Pulls right when stopping Options

[PDXBob]

Hi All,
I just finished putting on rebuilt rear brake calipers done by PMB. Also, new braided steel brake lines and set of new Textar pads on all 4 wheels (1975 914). I took it out to do the “bedding” break-in process and I noticed it was pulling to the right.

So, (after doing cool down slow driving)when I got home I checked temperature of rotors. Both back rotors were about 125 degrees. However front right was about 240 degrees. BUT front left was only about 85 degrees. To a novice like me seems like front left is not working.

Any suggestions on diagnostic procedures or what to check out.
Thanks

Just ran through this myself.

Adjusted rear brakes just until they let the disc turn free. no feeler gauges. You will gain air gap as the brake pads wear in anyways.

Also used Motive pressure bleeder.

The proportioning valve is at a high point in the system. Very hard to get a wrench on the top of the banjo bolt. Try pumping up the motive to 15 lbs and loosen each of the lines from the banjo union to each side, one at a time. Then follow up with another round of bleeding the rear calipers.

I would crack the bleeder on the rear caliper then reach inside the car and press the brake pedal slowwly 3-4 times, the pressure from the Motive should keep fluid moving out.
