I installed 4 pistons front calipers and a 19mm master cylinder this weekend. Also removed the "P" valve for the rear calipers and installed a "T" fitting. So the lines were pretty much empty. I added ATE Super Blue fluid and bled the system until I used a quart of fluid. After a day of hunting I managed to locate a friend that had a new quart on the shelf. We continued to bleed the system and added another half quart.
Here's the my issue... After bleeding the system for several hours I still have a low peddle. After the second pump of the peddle the hieght seems good. ( goes from 2/3 sweep to about almost 1/2) Do you think I need to continue to bleed the system or are the 4 piston calipers requiring the extra motion just to fill? Anyone running 4 piston calipers with a 19mm master cylinder? If so how much peddle travel do you have? |
