Bleeding brakes
« on: March 27, 2009, 09:47:54 »
I am having little luck bleeding my brakes.

I have converted the fronts to Vented discs, with brand new callipers.
The fronts have bleb OK, but the rears seem to just be just froth with lots of big bubbles. I have gone through about 5lts of fluid. I have also noticed there is bubbles in the master cyl, when pressing the pedel.

It was ment to go for it MOT today, any Ideas cheers

disd you bleed in order?
IIRC
rear nearside
rear offside
front nearside
front offside


when I bleed my brakes, I tend to open the nipple on the rear nearside and let it gravity bleed first, just to fill the system
