inthemail Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 i have to sell my beloved shee. fortunatley with my new job, i can just buy a spankin ass new one in the spring! anyway got everything all back togeather and when i tore it down i was stupid and took my rake lines off and all tht bullshit, i know how to bleed brakes. it seems as if my caliper isn't doing anything because with the line off of it it gurgles while pumping. (but doesnt squirt anything out? diaphram inside resovoir perhaps?) put the line on the caliper and removed bleeder screw pumped away pressurized line, nothing. i cant seem to get them bled properly. gimmie a fucking step by step guide i didnt search im just frustrated i cant sell it with NO brakes at all cause the front ones have been busted for years.

wesw Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 to bleed brakes. 1st fill rezzie up 2nd compress the lever or pedal down for like 5-10 times. 3rd hold whatever down to apply pressure, then have some one crack the spitter on teh caliper. 4th close spitter. 5th compress again 5-10 times repeat 2-5 over and over till when the lever or pedal becomes firm and keep your fluid level full.

inthemail Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Posted January 13, 2008 ok! by full do you mean, above and below the rubber part? cause i poured fluid in the rubber part too. shes right full Quote
Handyman Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Just keep enought fluid in it so that there is fuid over the hole where the fluid goes into the line Quote
chevrolet banshee Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 ok! by full do you mean, above and below the rubber part? cause i poured fluid in the rubber part too. shes right full You do not need to put fluid on top of the rubber deal. if you let you fluid get to low while bleeding the breaks you can get air in the line and as we know air will compress giving you should i say shitty breaks.
