Front brakes not bleeding NEED HELP!

[Banshee750]

Ive got a phoenix automotive auto bleeding system, and ive blead and blead but not getting any resistence on the lever so i got a used resovoir lever whole assembly and same thing is happening, if i pump allot my fluid level goes down then when i stop pumping it comes flowing back into the res. Do i still have air in lines somehow or is there issures elswhere???? THANX

ditch the automatic bleeding system and use a clear rubber hose.

Yea thats what i used the other day was a clear rubber hose. it took a long ass time but it worked. Its one of the crappy things to do on a banshee i think.

Pull the bleeder all the way out and check if it is plugged. If so run a small drill bit through it just removing the crud.

use a screw driver and push the pads on both sides in so it compresses (if you can do it to both sides at the same time) the caliper this forces the air into the reservoir. do this after you have bleed the brakes several times. then pump them up and you will still have to bleed them but it won't take much/ its wierd but it has always worked for me

I will try that tonight and get back to you, but i bet you i have 2 hours of constant bleeding in and am getting nowhere, ill try you method.............THANX

Best advice around right there IMO.. Initial gravity bleeding is ALWAYS what has worked for me.. :thumbsup:

try getting a used yfz450 master. that cures the banshee bleeding problem

I used this bleeder http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDet...odFamilyId=1481, I suppose you can make one as well. Simply start pumping lever you'll the the bubles rise & this bleeder keeps air from going back in. I wen't back n' forth on the calipers till I was done.

Okay you said you have no pressure on the lever right?

 

Do this. Open the resi and fill it up with brake fluid, to the top. Loosen the hndlebar clamp and rotate the assembly back, so the banjo bolt it in the up postion. Take the brake line off the banjo bolt and see if there is fluid in the piston. Put fluid in the piston put the brake line and banjp bolt back on and raotate the assembly back. You should the get lever pressure back. You have air in there.
