| c6 brake swap - any bleeding tricks? |
Subject: c6 brake swap - any bleeding tricks? by patgizz on 2010/7/3 19:45:13 did c6 fronts yesterday. quickly swapped the hose over to the new calipers to not lose fluid. made sure not to let the master get low and immediately cracked the bleeders to gravity fill the calipers. i can not for the life of me get the air out of the system. we've done the traditional "pump it up and hold it while i work the bleeders" about 5 or 6 separate times(5-6x per wheel each time) and i've used the mityvac vacuum bleeder. i'm getting no air out now and i still have spongy pedal that gradually goes to the floor when i hold it. i cleaned everything and have no signs of leakage anywhere. nice and dry at the hose connections. want to try my new brakes out but it's getting quite frustrating. i've run over a pint of fluid through the system trying to get the pedal feel back. |
