still about the brakes... can't ge tthem to work.

[mclarenkid69]

ok i just ordered a new pump or rear master cylinder and i put it all together.. and my back brake still doesn't work

I'm bleeding them by opening the fluid cap on the brake fluid contaner and opening up that little thing on the caliper and we get a little of the fluid comming out... It poors out in a perfect stream when you tip the caliper upside down and then pump the brake... so I thought I had it working... but nope when everything is together the back brake is as easy to pump as if it wasn't hooked up... im in desperate help becouse this been a problem to me for weeks.

If you guys know ANY tips or if im bleeding wrong please tell me... I ordered a master cylinder witch cost me 40 bucks and im about to buy a caliper that is going to cost me 180.. please

Bleeding the breaks is a two man job..

1.) Open the nipple on the caliper 2.) press down on the break 3.) tighten the nipple back up 4.) release the break 5.) repeat

We opened the caliper all the way up with out pads on and we filled it to were the brake line meats the caliper ... when we pushed the caliper back ands all the fluied goes back into the fuild contaner

Also look in the tutorial section a way I posted a while ago how to bleed brakes by yourself. Works like a charm if you ever need to do it again.
