I've changed several brake pipes, plus all flexibles, new wheel cylinders, shoes. Then during phase 1 of bleeding the original master cylinder went poopy in it's pants so replaced it with a new one.
Then during phase 2 of bleeding it too decided to go poopy in it's pants by sending the fluid the wrong way back into the reservoirs.
So i'm now on phase 3.
During phase 2 i purchased a pressure bleeder system along with a proper ally reservoir cap with a spout on top to suit the 101parts.co.uk ally reservoirs.
Pumped it up to 10PSI and opened first the rears and then the front nipples for about ten seconds a corner. I'm only getting fluid out, no bubbles.
The pedal will pump up to firm after about four or five pumps.
Tomorrow i'll try slackening off the pipe going into the top wheel cylinders on the fronts. At some point i'll modify the piping so that it goes into the bottom wheel cylinder and move the bleed nipple to the top, like on the rears, but not now.
Is it worth jacking up the driver's side axle to open up that brake aportioning valve?
I'm nearing the point of only wearing one sock and reciting Captain Beefheart lyrics backwards if it will guarantee a good pedal!
