wtf? i think I might've gotten air in my lines but im not sure.

so i was replacing my front brakes, and it was being difficult so i decided losening the brake line banjo bolt would make things easier. i have no idea why i thought that idea made sense.. anyway, long story short, i lost some brake fluid in on one side (the bolt was loose) and i tried using that little bleader thingie to make it better and i tried all this crap..

anyways, can simply losening that stuff get air in the lines? and is there any easy way to get rid of it? i dont have easy access to a pump, and no money to buy one if needed

 

You definately have air in your lines. If you don't have a mityvac pump with brake bleed kit, or can't afford the $30 for one, bleeding the brakes is a 2 man job. One in the car and one outside at the wheel. Pumping and holding the brakes while you open the bleeder. Then closing the bleeder before letting up on the brake pedal. I think the exact procedure is in your manual.

 

bleed the brakes--not a big deal, you should be back on the road very soon

 

dope, i was hoping it was the same as when i had to bleed the clutch line on another car. thanks for the help.. now if only i can explain to my mom how to step on the brake like i need her too
