need some input on bleeding my rear caliper. Just finished up installing my new rear caliper modified by Mr Jim snyder. While I am pumping up the pedal to bleed,The pedal will bleed down usually before I have a chance to undo the caliper bleed screw. I can pump it up real fast about 10 t0 20 times and hold it down and feel it bleed off. Is this bleeding off in the master cylinder that i can feel with my hand while holding presure on the pedal? Does that mean I am going to have to rebuild the master? Any suggestions. Thx in advance STeve
Also take a look at a set of Speed Bleeders....well worth the cost in my opinion. I have them on all brake calipers and clutch. Easy Peasy.
No, no, no, no, no...what's REALLY easy peasy is Speed Bleeders, a Miti-Vac and DOT 5 Brake Fluid, a cold 6 pack of Miller Genuine Draft, and a Packers game on TV!You'll want to bleed your brakes every weekend!
The Vacuum/ suction process is great for fluid exchange. Just remember that the design of the cup seals in your brake system is to hold pressure in, not vacuum. So always finish with a pressure bleed, as Air can be sucked into the system past seals that were meant to hold Pressure. Especially around the Master rear cup seal, or on a Car the Wheel cylinders.
