    Brake bleeding Q

    I cant seem to get the back brakes on my 85 R to build enough pressure, I know there was a topic on this already but I cant find it. Any input would be very appreciated.

    you sure you got all the air out of the lines? When i did my X it took forever to make sure to get ALL of it out. (mainly because i forgot to keep refilling the resevor.

    GOOD LUCK!!!


    I used a syringe and forced fluid through the caliper bleeder back up to where the line bolts to the master - then tightened that line and the bleeder and then filled the master. Then I could finally build up some pressure but what a dam mess I had made by then!! Fill up everything as much as you can and then start trying to bleed them - get lots and lots of rags!

    I USE clear tubing that fits over the bleeder run it back to the resivor then you can pump till all the air is out,,,without loosing all the fluid and getting more air in the system,,,,,,,

    Fill the resevior (spelling?), open the bleeder valve and pump the new fluid through until all that comes out is new brake fluid with no bubbles in it. Make sure you dont run the resivor dry. Then bleed them. Check your hoses for leaks if you have no pressure with new fluid.
