chevrolet banshee Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I am trying to bleed my front brakes. And it ain't working. i pump and pump and they wont build any pressure, I get a little fluid out of the calipers but thay just wont build pressure. I did the back one just fine but no front, its pissing me off. I need some help pleas. Chevshee Quote

gentner8 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) are you sure the master cylinder is good? Fill it, squeeze, crack open until no fluid, shut while still holding handle, release, refill repeat.... If you pushed the brake pistons all the way into the caliper, it will take more cycles. But I think that posts methods sound much easier. Thanks for that post dude. It takes a lot of beer and cussing when I work with brakes. Edited February 3, 2008 by gentner8 Quote

Worked great, and you can use it for other stuff. It cost around $35.00 but it was worth it. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 i must sy having that mityvac was grat but i took mine back after i got it working. although i got my break working they dont have as much pressure as i would like. but as long as the bike stops i guess it will do Quote
