i have a t bucket with 4w disc all new brakes and lines no leaks 2 lb residule valves f&r ..... tried bleeding and then tried a pheniox bleeder from the calipers and still press the pedal and straight to the floor it goes .... pump it up solid pedal. let it up and loses all pressure . i tried turning the push rod from the pedal in the master but then the brakes are locked any help would be great
the master cyl is under the floor
stupid question BUT i have seen many people do this ,,,,, is the bleeder screw pointed up on the caliper ! i had to ask
yep they are
Do you have free play in the master cylinder push rod when the peddle is released/up?
The piston in the master might not be retracting fully and being held in slightly by the push rod.
Also, leave the cap or cover loose while bleeding.
Did you bench bleed the master ???
what roadster said..................you may have lots of air in the system if the MC was not bench bled.
Maybe leave the bleeder screws open over night. Just a little.
If the master cylinder is lower than the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, more than likely you still have air in the lines. I have a brake bleeder that bleeds the system at high pressure that gets all the air out. But I still have to come back after a day or two and rebleed system.
