front brake problems!

[chefjason]

i have tried to bleed my front brakes.i took the whole hub assembly off wich allowed air in the lines.i put everything back together and filled the reservoir up im getting fluid on the left side but nothing on the right.im opening the valve pulling and holding the lever untill i close the bleeder valves then repeating.am i doing something wrong?

 

[chefjason]

yes no maybe so????lol

no that should work... keep going... is it pushing air out?

if that dont work u can try to reverse bleed them...take a small oil can with the lil pump trigger and fill with brake fluid then find a small hose that fits the spout on the can and put it over ur open bleeder and pump the fluid up to the reservoir.

thats sounds easier^^^^^ i tried again today and got the same results little fluid out of one and none out of the other.

i dont mean to be an ass but have you ever bled brakes before? you might need to pump them up a couple of times and crack the bleeder to get all the air out... it doent all come out at once on the first try... i really think there is just a bunch of air in the one...

keep pumping it up,
hold it,
open the bleeder,
close the bleeder,
release lever,
repeat...

make sure you resevoir doesnt go empty
