Guys heres where Im at, my brakes from Eric Sheas company just got delivered to the house, it feels like christmas morning. Did the fronts a couple of weeks ago, there is virtually NO BRAKE FLUID in the lines at this point, so when i connect the lines on the rear and install the brakes there of course will be no pressure. Now what? just start pouring fluid and pump the pedal? am concerned about sponginess which seems to come up alot here. any help will be greatly appreciated?

If you have no fluid in the system. Open one of the brake bleeders from any caliper, although most folks work furthest away (rears) first.
Let gravity do the work, when you see fluid, go to the next one and repeat. When you get them all done, you can double back and start pump and release bleeding method. I'm sure there's as many procedures like I mentioned as members on this board. |
