I recently had all 4 calipers on my 1971 914 rebuilt because it had been sitting for decades. The brakes worked, but stuck, and a had a small leak. I put the calipers back on, but now can't get brake fluid to flow through the lines in order to bleed the brakes. I've tried a hand vacuum pump on the bleeder screws, even disconnected the lines at the calipers. The reservoir is full, but I can get the fluid to flow. Can I hook up an electric high vacuum pump to the lines? I'm afraid I'll damage the rebuilt calipers. Any suggestions? Can you send instructions?
Thank you, Greg |
