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?

Just curious...has anyone here tried or used 'speed bleeders'? Seems it could take the hassle out of the process...Check this out: www.speedbleeder.com.

QUOTE(DblDog @ Aug 13 2010, 04:15 PM)  Just curious...has anyone here tried or used 'speed bleeders'? Seems it could take the hassle out of the process...Check this out: www.speedbleeder.com. I used them on a 70T last year. My dad and I spent a couple of hours trying to bleed the system when we finally discovered the little ball bearing in the speed bleeder was frozen. I ordered two more and sent the defective ones back and it was very quick to bleed the brakes. |
