I was trying to replace my MC with a GSR one + rear disc conversion. I put the "new" MC in but then realizing I had the wrong fittings so I had to put the stock one back in. I proceeded to bleed the brakes, all 3 other corners were fine, but at the driver front caliper fluid wasnt coming out.

Should I keep trying to bleed the brakes, or is something wrong?

 

may sound stupid, but are you sure all the lines are tight? when I replaced my lines with SS ones one of them was still slightly loose causing the fluid to seep out between the hardline and SS line. Once that was fixed, everything was fine.

 

the caliper that isnt flowing wasnt touched so I dont think it would be leaking.

 

i am having the same problem.

 

how does the brake pedal feel during the bleeding process on the driver front? if it's still a solid feel, it sounds like it's blocked somewhere. follow the lines and just make sure everythings ok.

 

I just did a rear disc swap on my buddies EG and swaped the front lines to SS. His front left caliper was giving us the same issue. The brake pedal felt nasty too (just drop to the floor) after an alarming amount of bleeds (starting from the wheel most away from the MC) we got all the air out of the front line.

So if your pedal feels loose and nasty, just keep trying but make sure all fittings are tight and all other bleed locations are good

 

Was the bleeder valve covered with that rubber cover? I've had bleeder screws actualy clog up. Pull the screw out, and see whats up. Might have to go get a new.

 

ok so i did rear right until i saw no bubbles, rear left, front right and finally front left. everything worked juuuuust fine!

 

Sweet!
Glad your back on the road!

Yeah, sometimes it's got a long length to travel, just keep adding and pumping until it comes out.
