you dont have any leaks? even a small hole or not tightend fitting will do it, are you using speedbleeders or the 2 man way?

i'm using the 2 man way actual 3 one opening the valve and one pumping the brakes and one just keeping an eye on the master cylinder and refill if neccessary. and the fitting is all tighten and i don't see any leaks and all the crush washer are on the brake line one on bolt side and one on caliper side.

 

does anyone have this same problem

 

thanks in advance for any help.

 

there is a certain way to bleed the brakes. when you do a rear brake swap, it takes a while for the pedal to firm up. you pretty much end up flushing the whole system (which is recommended i think like every couple years or something like that).

 

you making sure your pedal man is holding the last pump?

 

yeah i was the pedal man i and i was holding it every last pump i held down on the pedal until the valve opener loosen it up and tighten back before i release

 

try bleeding it like a clutch. hook a hose over the bleeder valve and put it into a cup of brake fluid, so that there is no way air can get sucked back into the brake system.

so what you basically do is get a cup or bottle and fill like 1/4 of it up with brake fluid and put one end of the hose submerged into the cup. Attach the other end of the hose onto the bleeder valve and start to bleed it like you would.
