Gents,
I have done the searches, watched some video, looked up stuff, rebuilt my calipers, replaced the MC, soft brake lines, and some hard lines, new pads and hardware, adjusted the venting clearance on the rear pads, speed bleeders...probably going on about $600 all in on this brake system so far...bled , then bled, then bled some more using a pressure bleeder...still a soft pedal and red blinky brake dash light when the pedal goes to the floor. I tried to do the pedal bleed, but it didn't seem like the fluid was moving. When I switched to the pressure bleeder, the fluid started coming out...no air bubbles. What am I missing? Adjust the venting again? If I did that wrong, does it screw up the whole system? Car runs, is looking good...needs to STOP. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Do you have the calipers installed where the bleeders are at the top of the calipers?
And if you have any calipers with two bleeders, you are using the top ones? |

Yes, the rears have the two bleeders, and I've only used the top ones...still no pedal at all. Man, I just want to be able to drive this car...it's killing me. If there is anyone in the Portland, OR area that can help me I'll be forever grateful! |

If there is anyone in the Portland, OR area that can help me I'll be forever grateful! And your front calipers have the bleeders on top too? It took me a week to figure out I had them on the wrong sides. I ran three large bottles of fluid through while trying to bleed the system. Once I switched them I had a firm pedal in minutes! Oh and I now have a really cleanly flushed out brake system! Hang in there you'll figure it out. Jsaum |
