I just replaced my rotors and brake pads at every corner, and installed some Techna-Fit SS brake lines. I have followed all instructions(to include referencing this forum several times), took my time, and double checked everything. I'm complete, and trying to bleed my brakes. I can't get them bled!!!! I've gone in the proper order, on the inside and outside bleed screw on each caliper, and still no good. The pedal has no pressure, the reservoir level doesn't hardly move, and on some corners, after pumping and holding, nothing comes out at all!!! I need some insight, or I'm gunna light it on fire.....

 

I just did mine one at a time with a second person pumping and holding

 

Yeah, I have a second person with me, and nothing seems to be working. I get a little bit of fluid/air mix on random bleed screws on random calipers while bleeding in order. While on other calipers I get NOTHING. No fluid, not even air... I've checked for leaks in the system, and everything seems to be good to go..

 

sounds like a leak or a giant air pocket to me

 

Try cracking the bleeders on 1 caliper at a time. dont pump just let them gravity bleed once you get fluid then do the pump and hold.

 

I'll give it a try...if anyone can give any other suggestions, PLEASE feel free..Thanks.

 

 

I've heard that the Motives Products Power Bleeder is a great product, but I know it shouldn't be necessary. This bleed should only take around 10 minutes, if you don't count the rmval and reinst of the wheels.

 

Okay, so when I try to pump my brakes in an attempt to bleed them out, my engine nearly dies out. My wide-band A/F gauge indicates an extremely lean condition to the point that it no longer gives me a numerical read out, just "---" There must be a leak somewhere. I sprayed down all my connections on the new Techna-Fit SS braided lines with soapy water, and everything checks out. I'm gunna start looking for my lighter.

 

Why is the car on for a brake bleed?

 

You do know the correct order for bleeding is,
RR
LF
LR
RF

try bleeding the master itself,

From the shop manual.

MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
The master cylinder has no check valve, so if bleeding is car-
ried out by the following procedure, bleeding of air from the
brake pipeline will become easier. (When brake fluid is not con-
tained in the master cylinder.)
1. Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.
3. Have another person cover the master cylinder outlet with a
finger.
4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2 − 4 three or four times to fill the inside of the
master cylinder with brake fluid.

 

also Ive done this before out of stupidity but everyone make a mistake when you and work lol. All cross over pipes at the bottom of the caliper right? Bleed the Master cylinder then the brakes in the order above ^^^ then after go perform hard stops to trigger abs to bleed that unless you have a scan tool to trigger it.

 

Wondering the same thing?

 

Thanks for the input everybody, this $h!% has really got me stressed out. I'm going to try and bleed the master, and then go back to working the calipers in the order prescribed by the service manual. I'll keep you all updated, as I will likely be posting several times today.

 

I wasn't getting anywhere trying to bleed the system conventionally, and I read a couple posts elsewhere suggesting that having the car running may help....needless to say I was desperate, so I figured what the heck, and gave it a go.
