brakes

[macgillivary]

o man this sucks

i put on new rear brakes

but for some dumb reason i took the brake line off in the process

anyways now the brakes are on the bike

but when i press my brake pedal they dont work, the pedal goes down but no pressure on the pads

there is still fluid in the lines, maybe not enough? when the line was off and you pressed the pedal you could see the fluid come out

air in the lines causing problems? how do you get the air out?

orrrrr what is the problem?

Thanks

bleed the line. you'll be fune. do it till you have pressure.

 

tighten screw, press pedal several times, hold down pedal and open screw.

tryed doing this for so long and still nothing

now what i noticed is that when you take the line off and press the pedal no fluid is coming out which was not like before, before fluid was coming out, even though there is fluid there, i put it in but it doenst seem to travel to the other end

any suggestions on this?

Thanks
