Can't Bleed Brakes


Recommended Posts

took my my calipers off this week and can't seem to get the air out of the system. i have a power bleeder and have run like two gallons of fluid through the system. i also pressurized the system and waited ~1hr to see if anything leaked. nada.

everytime, the pedal just goes WAY down and drivability is nill. calipers are on the correct sides of the car, bleeders are facing up, all fastners are spec torqued. no detectible leaks around master cylinder. this is driving me crazy. any ideas? Thanks.

Why were the calipers taken off? What else was done?

Did you bleed the clutch? - which is on the same circuit.

pulled the calipers to paint. removed crossover tubes and bleeder valves from calipers during the process. didn't bleed the clutch.

also, for informational purposes, i have 3 channel ABS (no TC or PSM), so no need to open ABS valves w/ PST2 during bleed.
