OK, OBVIOUSLY no negative to the calipers. Here's the deal..... removed the 911 rear calipers (well for that matter the entire swing arms) but I just let the brake fluid lines hang and drain into jars. Finally got my swing arms mods done and now putting on the new calipers. Filled the brake resevoir up and had all 4 wheels off the car. Used my handy dandy brake sucker pump and had fluid running to all four bleeders on the rear (2 each for a caliper) and then did the fronts. Had to refill a couple of times because I was pulling some darker fluid until it was clear. Went into the cab and hit the breaks. Nothing.... I mean NADA. Pumped like a 100 times to no avail.
RE-DID the entire process again. NADA and I mean nothing. So, I'm wondering if my master has gone south in this time line?? and why?? Seems the only logical answer at this point. Anyone have any ideas? Dave |

I had the same issue on my old Jeep truck. I had to replace the front calipers, and FLAPS could only get two left calipers. Considering I needed to get the truck back on the road, I bought the two lefts. So to bleed the right caliper, I have to take it off, put a block of wood in between the pads, and flip it over. It works fine, but it is a pain in the ass to bleed.
Glad you found it. Now go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
