Did I miss something?
I changed out my old MC for a new 19mm per the Pelican article, and changed out my soft lines while I was at it. I've bled all 4 corners with a vacuum pump, but the pedal still goes to the floor. I cant get it to pump up at all, even depressing it multiple (~50) times. Help? |

Are you tightening the bleeder screw before the peddle comes up? If not, the air just goes back and forth. Also, use smooth, slow strokes on the peddle. Lot's of people pump the hell out of the peddle and it just makes matters worse by aerating the fluid. After I get the system feeling good and I think I am done, I come back several hours later and bleed one more time. I always get a little more air out after things settle down.....

Your the first person here I've read that has mentioned going slow with the pedal so you don't turn 50 air bubles into 500. We learned this at brake and alingment school but I thought I was the only one that still did it that way. |
