Howdy, folks!
@bowtie39 sold me a front caliper that @jim snyder modified to fit the rear. Threw some new EBC sintered pads in there while I was at it. Put it on, buttoned everything up, but I can't for the life of me get a pedal out of it. I have a Phoenix Systems V-5 bleeder - I've used it on multiple cars with great success - and I've tried sucking fluid out, reverse bleeding, but I don't know....
When I have the bleeder cracked and press the brake pedal, it spurts fluid out, but not too powerfully. There's no leaks that I see.... this is frustrating.
With this new caliper mod, do I need a longer brake hose? It reaches, but I'm a little weirded out by the position.... tell me if I'm just being a ninny (see pics).
Another thing I noticed is that with this setup, the bleeder is no longer the highest point on the caliper - the banjo bolt is. Could this be why I'm not able to properly bleed it? I figured that the pressure bleeder would pull all air out of there, and leave only fluid, but no matter how many times I pump I'm still getting some aeration....
How do I check to see if the master is bad?
Getting tired of little things turning into big projects... JUST WANNA RIDE!
Thanks in advance.
