Any help out there? I am converting my 75 2.0l to Volvo girling calipers and can't get it bled properly. I have installed a new 19mm MC, all new rotors, new rear calipers, T for the proportioning valve, new Volvo 240 calipers with T's to put the two to one line conversion, SS flex brake lines and all necessary plumbing.
I have bled and bled and bled, etc... Started RR, LR, RF, LF in that order and have tried bleeding the two Volvo upper fittings in pairs and separately. The pedal is stiff after pumping brakes repeatedly with only 2"-3" of travel. When you let off and push slowly, the pedal goes 4"-6" and is mushy. Any help? |

yes, that is true. BUT, you need to bleed both. First the bottom one then the top. They are isolated till your Tee fitting, and therefore both will hold air independantly of each other... BTDT with several p1800's,,,great setup, but a bitch to bleed. Rich |
