Hi all, I replaced the calipers and pads and flex hoses in the rear. (1973 1,7)
Old brake fluid from reservoir removed with siringe and filled with new fluid. I did set the clearance on the inner and outer on both sides. Then I did bleed the brakes and checked the clearance again (was still OK) Now the proportioning valve part....do I need someone to push the pedal to the floor, keep pedal at floor and then I bleed again while pedal is down? Or does it work another way ? Or is it not needed after what I already did ? Thanks for your reply ! |
