simple brake tech? ..

I recently flushed and filled my brakes.. (painted them so i drained out all the nasty fluid and put in new fluid.)

now, when it comes to bleeding out the air, i have tried several times and I still dont get the full pressure I am used too..

I have tried opening one bleed valve at a time.. pumping the pedal several times till only fluid is coming out then tightening it.. and repeating on all 4 calipers..

why is this not working when it has been fine in the past?

Re: simple brake tech? ..

Did you do it in the proper sequence?

RF

Hopefully, you did not allow the master cylinder to gulp any air when doing this or you might need to bleed it and the ABS motor.
