Hi All,
I just finished putting on rebuilt rear brake calipers done by PMB. Also, new braided steel brake lines and set of new Textar pads on all 4 wheels (1975 914). I took it out to do the “bedding” break-in process and I noticed it was pulling to the right. So, (after doing cool down slow driving)when I got home I checked temperature of rotors. Both back rotors were about 125 degrees. However front right was about 240 degrees. BUT front left was only about 85 degrees. To a novice like me seems like front left is not working. Any suggestions on diagnostic procedures or what to check out. Thanks PDXBob |

I run the hose all the way to the reservoir. That way I don't need to keep refilling the reservoir while I'm pumping. You'll need to fashion some wire to hold the end of the hose over the neck of the reservoir. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) It will take 100+ pumps on the brake pedal at each caliper. Start with the right rear. then left rear, then right front, finally left front. If re-using the old MC don't push the pedal past the point it is used to stopping at. An easy way to do this is to cut a 3" long piece of 2" PVC then cut it length wise on one side, pull it apart until it will slip over the brake pedal. This will keep you from pumping the pedal too far. If you installed a new MC bleed it before you do any thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
