I had to disconnect my left front caliper to do some work, and when i put it back on, i bled it and there was no air, but now my pedal goes to the floor. My question is this, do i need to do all 4 sides and is there a trick to it? Also my haynes manual says not to do it with ABS, and i have ABS but its not working correctly so i wasnt gonna worry about it for now. And overall would it just be wise to take it in somewhere? I dont know if it would be a rip off or not. Thanks H-T.

 

Did you stick the end of the tube into some brake fluid so that when you release the brake pedal, it's not going to suck in air?

 

how do u stick a tube on the end when u have to lossen a nut right there at the end, to adjust it. Wouldnt the tube get in the way?

 

bleed all brakkes. start with farthest from front left, the back right, and work your way up.

 

You need a One man brake bleeding kit from Auto Zone or somewhere, it'll have everything you need.

 

it would be a waste of money. need a friend to hit the brake pedal while you bleed each one.

 

I am having the same problem flushed out my fluid put in new now the brakes feel like **** I also have ABS. Help!

 

abs changes everything...

 

the bleeding sequence in the hanes says rear right, then front left, then rear left, then front right.

 

you need the speedbleeder so that you can do it yourself without any help. i got mines out of the best buys forum for $5 a piece. they also had clutch bleeders for $5. i dont know if they still have the groupbuy but i am very pleased with it cuz i dont have to have anyone stepping on the pedal for me and just do it myself.

 

yeah we know how to bleed brakes bro were talking about the ABS unit.

go to http://www.speedbleeder.com. more info is on the site.

 

thanks..I might have to pick me up a set for the hatchie.....wOOt!!

 

Speed Bleeders = Mean.

Bump to the tizzy tizzle.

 

what is causing it to be all 4 sides, why wouldnt just bleeding the front barke do the trick, this sucks.

 

Get someone else to do it if you don't like working on your own car.

Bleed all four or stop bitching.

 

damn sorry, its not the greatest thing in the world to do. I just wondered what my options were. Christ..

 

But what about if the car has ABS? Is there any different way to do it?

I just bled the brakes in the proper sequence TWICE and the car still stops like POOP. Can someone let me know what else could be wrong? We even bled the master cylinder and its shitty. I also tried bleeding the whole car again with the ignition on cause I know on some ABS equipped cars its like that, but nothing changed. HELP PLEASE!!

 

I gsr brakes all the way around on my hatch and i can't get my brakes bled either. My master cylinder has a really weird feeling after pushing on the peddle about halfway like it might be bad or something. I thought about upgrading to a bigger paster cylinder but not sure what to do.
