Need Help With Rear Disc Brakes
#1
well I've replaced the rear pads, (hawks) and also checked & cleaned the calipers and pistons..reasembled and bleed them( just the rear).,.... but still the pedal goes all the way down like a sponge...

could this be more air on the system??
cause, I didnt bleed the front ones since I didnt touch them, anyways,
but since a lot of ppl said that u have to bleed all the 4 of them..dont know...
should I go to..... :( MIDAS?? :( :huh: :o :ph34r:
cause the dealer is a NO.NO for me...

thanx guys

with the master cylinder being higher than the calipers, you can just gravity bleed them. Just open up ONE bleeder screw at a time and you should get whatever bubbles are in them, out.

gravity bleeding works wonders. let them drip for a while, tighten them up and pump up the pedal, move to the next bleeder screw.

or just go get someone to give you a hand... you have to have a buddy/neighbour/family/enemy that can sit and press a pedal for you...?
