The above reply made me laugh couldn't get my brembo 4 pots right until I found a second bleeder on my rear of the calipers,felt silly about that....a quick bleed on each of the rear ones (front was ok) got me a lovely firm pedal.
OP hasn't mentioned venting off the m/c yet sounds airlocked to me ,hope the seals are still ok (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

I had a bad seal in the m/c as well. Moved fluid but couldn't get a good pedal. A lot of them have been sitting on the shelf for years and the seals dry up and split when pressure is applied.

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! 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 Yeah, the calipers are correct...just pressurized the system with the presssure bleeder...firm pedal! So, what does THAT mean? |

Took getting my buddy to help out, but we finally got a firm pedal...combination of pressure bleeding, vac bleeding and old fashioned pedal work. Of course, a 914 firm pedal still could use some work... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Off to have a beer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Thanks to everyone for your advice! Great forum! John |
