914/4 75 2.0
Just installed new ATE brake master from PMB - the one for the 914/6 I use a pressure bleeder and have gone around about five times, first bleeding both top and bottom bleeders (RR, LR, LF, RF) then just the top ones. Had some weeping out of the RF bleeder overnight, so I bled them again - about three more times. No leaks that I can see, but pedal pressure is great with the pressure bleeder on, yet when I remove it, pedal pressure is OK, but the pedal travel is a bit much. I've no 914 seat time (yet), so I'm not sure if that amount of pedal travel is normal or not. I did tweak the rear pads, but I did it by feel... in other words I tightened up both piston until they were engaged and holding the rotor, then just backed off a bit on both sides to relieve the pressure. Anyway, it appears I have decent brakes, just a bit more pedal travel then what I'm used to. Thanks, Len |
