Brake bleeding issue.

[losh1971]

Yeah what's that? A one man bleeder kit, two person bleed, gravity bleed, compressor bleeder?

2 person bleed. Do have 1 person kit with one way valve (as it should be).

Really can't see what difference it makes. Pedal should not be hard.

 

[dave64]

For whats its worth, did the 2 person bleed because
1) its my preference as you can see what is gong on.
2) did not want to run the risk of tube coming off nipple and getting fluid on new paint, it does happen.

Pull the master back off and make sure it’s okay. Could be some swarf left in it from the manufacturing process

If everything is fine in the caliper department it really only leaves the master cylinder, or maybe something to do with the ABS pump.

unless there something wrong with the booster
all i do is suck out the old fluid in the master cylinder as much as possible
than i suck the new fluid through starting with the rears left and right tighten the nipples than i get somebody to pump and hold the pedal while i cracked nipples than refit the wheels

than same procedure with the fronts you don t need somebody sit there all the time continually pumping
i did buy a air bleeder 20 odd bucks of ebay last year that made the job of doing 2 cars piece of cake even changing booster/mc on the ute

Considered the ABS module in this equation?

Thanks guys.

Was hoping someone had experienced this and could have then directed me to the culprit, would same me some time and trouble shooting.

I am capable of finding the issue. I suspect the new MC at this time.

Will give some more thought and "might" start buy disconnecting lines at MC and checking pedal pressure.

Thanks again.

Before I go.

Will just add that pedal feels fine now. it was only during bleeding that pedal was "very" hard.

Will give some more thought and "might" start buy disconnecting lines at MC and checking pedal pressure.

First and smart thing to do would be to crack a bleeder nipple and see if problem still exists.
