Post subject:  Brake bleading issues.
hey guys.

I'm just having a bit of trouble with my brakes, the pedel is fairly squishy so the other day I decided i would blead the system. On the backs i could only get a trickle of fluid to come out, and i couldn't push the pedel to the floor with the blead nipple undone. it was the same for both sides.

when i did the fronts, i could get a lot more fluid out and the pedel would go all the way to the floor.

what would cause so little fluid to come out of the rears? i certainly don't think this is normal, but correct me if i'm wrong.

Cheers, Cazmo

Don't think you can buy the rear limiting valve now, Karcraft don't list the Lockheed seal kit for it any more either. :cry:

The problem will be the rear hoses,,,

it`s nearly allways the rear hoses,,,

the pressure limiting valve hardly ever stuffs up,,, & even if it did, normally it would just not work, but would still allow fluid to come through

Replace both your rear hoses & bleed it all again & you should be fine

Point of warning tho!!!!!!!!!!!....If you go to bleed the front, --->you`ll need to "UN-ADJUST" them,,,then bleed them & then "ADJUST" them back up to do it properly,,,that is unless you have front disc brakes, then just happilly let them gravity bleed away :-)

easy-peasy :-)
