Bleeding brakes

(1/1)

MuddyMachine:
I am having little luck bleeding my brakes.

I have converted the fronts to Vented discs, with brand new callipers.
The fronts have bleb OK, but the rears seem to just be just froth with lots of big bubbles. I have gone through about 5lts of fluid. I have also noticed there is bubbles in the master cyl, when pressing the pedel.

It was ment to go for it MOT today, any Ideas cheers

russ3120:
disd you bleed in order?
IIRC
rear nearside
rear offside
front nearside
front offside


when I bleed my brakes, I tend to open the nipple on the rear nearside and let it gravity bleed first, just to fill the system

muddy90:
sounds like it needs new cylinder
