troyzstang Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ok someone school me on brake bleeding I'm sick of trying to bleed my rear brake assembly. I have a speed bleeder. Tried most tricks listed. Just won't build pressure. No apparent leaks either. Help Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Try taking it off at the caliper and sucking it through with your mouth. Yes, it works. Yes, brake fluid is nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I've also used a vacuum set up. Still no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumarat Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hook hose up to bleeder screw and put into brake fluid container and pump the shit out of it. Then bleed as you normally would with hose still in the brake fluid so it can't suck air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandking Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Take the master cylinder off flip it upside down, remove c clip and allow it to fill up with brake fluid. Then bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sometimes that peddle can be hard to get primed. Right hand on peddle, left hand on bleeder wrench......Push peddle down making pressure, open bleeder, keep peddle down, close bleeder, let peddle up, repeat. I run a small hose from the bleeder to a small jar of brake fund, so you can see the fluid enter the jar. I'm essentially bleeding all the way to the jar since I keep the hose in a pool of brake fluid at the bottom of the jar. This keeps air bubbles from getting sucked back into the line. You can bleed with the cap off so you can keep an eye on your fluid level. You suck one air bubble in and your back to square one. Bleed till you get no bubbles into the fluid of the jar. Keep going till your fluid all looks new. (My +10 line took a while. LOL) If you are at it for a real long time....maybe you have an master cylinder issue.

pumarat Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Helps to pump it without brake line hooked up to caliper until you get fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
