Brake bleeding issue after caliper rebuild
Brake bleeding issue after caliper rebuild
Hey guys,
I've been working on rebuilding my OEM Evo 8 Brembo calipers after getting them powder coated. I replaced all the bleeder valves, replaced the seals, used an 11mm oring for the rear calipers. (found out it actually uses a special oring that has a lip) but read that 11mm orings will still work.
I've installed all the calipers and tried to flush it all replacing it all with ATE typ200 brake fluid. Using the method were I run a hose from the bleeder valve to a bottle, the hose is submerged on the bottle end. Then I have someone pumping the brakes, watching for the fluid in the master cylinder.
I started the flush process with the rear passenger caliper. I flushed the outer half first until I saw a clear stream of brake fluid, but moving to the inner half I cannot get any fluid to start draining. When I look to see if the brake pads are pressed all the on the rotor I do see some space in between rotor-pads.
I'm not seeing any leaks anywhere.
Is there anything I can try before I take the caliper back apart?
