ste91 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 no idea I don't have a clue about brakes really all I know is that while the engine is running braking is assisted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Put a cube block of wood under so the pedal doesnt go down far-far i think it damages the seals of the mater cylinder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Was going to say I have never bled the brakes on any car with the engine running Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dont bleed brakes with the engine running.Start at the corner furthest from the resevoir, moving to the front closest to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
