Alright fellas I asked u for help before and i did all i could on my brakes...Bled them 10,000,000 times, pushed pistons back it to try to get air out thru the master. The brakes still ****..I can't lock up the front at all WTF is goin on?? Anyone else has some advice.. Like i said i installed DB bars (please dont hate) put a longer brake line in and changed the fluid. Like i said ..bled them so many ****ing times already i dont know what to do.. Oh yeah and I cleaned the pads and rotors with Brakleen so everything is nice and clean..but still weak front brake DONT lock up... HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

 

Did you go get a mightyvac and bleed them with it like I suggested?

 

you do have pressure in your lines?

maybe something is ****ed with your front brake itself.. that would be my next step... try to get a different front brake

 

did you put new pads on? Cause if you soked<--? them you cant fix that and they will never work

 

did you not only bleed it down at the bottom but also bleed the lines where they go into the master cylinder? I had air in mine once and that did it.

I think you have pressure from the master or obviously you would have already stated that but if your pads are soaked you will have to change them...

 

soaked......

 

try it my way if it doesnt work you need a new master........open both bleeders.. cover them with you fingures apply enough pressure to let the fluid out when you pump but not let air in when you let go .have some one pump the master and keep the res full..pump slow and steady but fast enough so the air bubbles dont have time to rise back up the lines .and make sure your lever is adjusted all the way out so you get a full pump

Hmm i might've get them pads wet a bit. No didnt get the Vac tool yet. I really had a few minutes to work on it today so i just bled it one more time and the pushed the pistons in...and cleaned the pads...I guess i'll just keep tryin to bleed. if it won't work i'll try to get me that Vacuum tool. If still no results..then new pads. Thanks for the advice fellas.

Longer brake line shouldn't really have anything to do with it right?? I dont think so anyways.

Kirk how much u looking to spend for a 636??

 

trust me on this one

 

air is the enemy!

 

it took a long time to get mine right also. either get the vacume bleeder or you can gravity bleed the breaks. fill it up with fluid crack the bleeders and let it sit over night. them fill up the res and bleed it agian. it should presure up quick. thats what i had to do for mine.

 

bleed'em as best you can, then sit there for a LONG time and hit the brakes over and over and over.


when you push the pistons apart (guessing you used a C-clamp?) it can take some time for them to get back close enough to the rotor, or so i've been told.

 

Is the lever hard and it just doesnt stop, or is the lever soft and pulls in really far?

 

In mechanical terms which I would use while describing brakes on a car I would say it's Spongy (the Lever), and it doesn't really grab to lock up. Usually that would be air or mastr.

 

I bleed my brakes like 938429084 times and a month later i dont know what i did and it started working your not doing something right

 

But my brake lever aint level right it sits higher then my foot rest

 

try riding your brakes and getting them hot then bleeding them right after. Dont get them extreamly hot, just nice and warm. Go for like a fifteen min ride and just stop a little harder than usual. works for me

 

you didnt mix dot 3 or 4 with dot 5 did you?
