I spent today installing new rear wheel bearings and that went OK I think. I left the swing arm on the car and just unbolted the rear brake calipers, but left all the lines connected. I backed out of the garage and the brake pedal went straight to the floor. Pumping didn't seem to help. I can see no leaks and the brake fluid is full. I lift the car off the ground again and had a helper step on the brakes. all the wheels locked to the point I couldn't turn them by hand. I guess the question is what should I look at next?

To fit the calipers back over the rotors, you did have to push the brake pads back in a little ways, right?
That first press of the pedal pushed the pads against the rotor. It's perfectly normal, and is the reason that you always pump the pedal a time or two after you do any brake work. --DD |
