![]() Check and fill the tank every couple times to prevent emptying. Repeat until there is no sputtering or bubbles indicating air comming from nipple. Helper should keep pressure on as pedal moves down when fluid is released. Slowly open the bleed nipple and close it again BEFORE the pedal is released. Have helper pump brake pedal (all the way to the floor if it goes there without forcing it) 5 - 8 times, then HOLD PEDAL DOWN. get ready at the bleed nipple with a small closed end wrench, and have helper sit in driver seat. To prevent mess, put a flexible tube over the nipple and drain it to a jar.įill resovior with fresh brake fluid. Might be a good idea to flush it with fresh fluid, but I imagine you have already if you bled it 4 times. The other possible issue is the master cylinder piston is not sealing well. Here is a YouTube video which should help. I would think would not hurt to check the correct procedure for bleeding rear brakes. If pedal goes to floor or just too low, it needs bleeding.Īre you sure you did not run the resovior dry? With engine running, do NOT press pedal really hard. Without power booster brake pedal will be heavy. When engine is running you have a power booster in operation. Obviously I can't tell you what's happened to yours, but it will need someone to check it out properly or you run the risk of having permanently unserviceable (and potentially unsafe) brakes. ![]() When you bleed the brakes, you force the master cylinder piston beyond (across) that ridge, and sadly this often tears the fine sealing edge off the master cylinder piston seal, leading to a soft pedal (at best) or one that goes through to the floor (at worst). ![]() This also happens within the brake master cylinder, and creates a 'use ridge' at the place where the piston stops in normal operation. This does a couple of things - reduces the boiling point of the fluid and begins the inexorable process of the corrosion of the inisde of the brake system components. The reason is simple: during operation, vehicle braking systems take water from the atmosphere into the brake fluid. It's quite common for the failure of the brake master cylinder during/after bleeding brakes, especially if it's the first time for a long time that they've been bled. Why did you change the brake pads? Was it because there was already a problem with the brakes? Or just because they were worn out? ![]() Maybe so But using the improper language is not right.Just because of User rating does not give the tech the right to bash customers for just giving a medium rating!We are hear to help not care if we get good or bad ratings because we feel that we deserve only good.We give advice thats it and should care less if they think we are better than someone else or that we're not.And for you to agree with that thats not right either.Be happy to help people!Not to be here because your god or that you feel you deserve 100% rating all the time, Ratings to me don't mean anything to me!I'm Just Here To Help!!!!
