********UPDATE*********
Fixed all of the leaks, the grommets are in as far as I believe they will go. Re-bled the system. No bubbles, went around twice. Hooked up the emergency brakes, tight, tight, tight! Put the tires on and drove the car down the street and back. First time the car has moved on it's own power since '84. TWO OBSERVATIONS - any comments or direction are appreciated. 1. Rear brakes are too tight (dragging) so I need to adjust "venting clearance" ? Correct? 2. Brake pedal travels half-way on the first push, high and tight on the second. Need guidance here - what should I look at first? Thank you all 914W gurus. CTC911CTC My 17yr old son and I replaced the MC with a new one last week - since it was VERY cold here in New England we may have not taken the care the job deserved. Once installed I noticed that there was leaking from the reservoir hoses, the grommets seemed to have pulled loose. |

1. Rear brakes are too tight (dragging) so I need to adjust "venting clearance" ? Correct? Yes: this is helpful: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=90625 2. Brake pedal travels half-way on the first push, high and tight on the second. Need guidance here - what should I look at first? Did you bench bleed the new MC? I haven't had to do that (then again I've yet to put a brand new MC in a car), but I've read it may be required. Also, I have had good success with the pressure bleeders. Bleeding the 914 can be notoriously finicky. |
