NightSpirit Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just thought I'd post this incase I'm missing anything glaringly obvious on the EP. The brakes (outlaw 4 pots) are still not right, if you pump the pedal you get some resistance, and the pads do engage the discs but normal conditions there is no resistance at all till the pedal is at the floor. I bled the brakes from OR, NR, OF, NF (O - offside, N - nearside)...with the wife in the car, pumping the pedal a few times when I release the bleed nipple on the caliper...fluid comes out in a jet, I tighten it up, next caliper and so on. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 When youve fitted all of your brake parts, fill the brake tank up.pump the pedal a few times with the bleed nipples closed.Then, starting at the corner furthest, with somebody inside the car..Open the nipple,Push the pedal to the floor, whilst its to the floor, lock the nipple back up (dont let the brake pedal up at all with the nipple open)Let the pedal up.Open the nipple again, Push the pedal to the floor, lock the nipple.Keep doing that whilst checking there is brake fluid topped to the max mark.Once your certain there is no more trapped air, move on to the next furthest corner. and so on untill you get to the 4th corner nearest the brake reservoir.Make sure that :Nipple is OPEN , when your pushing the pedal down. DO NOT LET THE PEDAL UP AT ALL WITH THE NIPPLE STILL OPEN!Only let the pedal back up, once youve locked the nipple tight again.If you let the brake fluid run out whilst doing this process you have to start all over again, even if you dont think it needs it.It will suck a tiny air pocket in and flow around the system.If youve done it that way, it should work fine. Make sure all your brake lines are nice and tight, and pistons are copper greased and moving freely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NightSpirit Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Your right about the sides. Always bleed from furthest away from the master cylinder. You dont really need to do the pump up open thing, that takes ages. Get a pipe, fit it to the nipple, then get a lucozade bottle, rip the rapping off.Put a small amount of brake fluid in the bottle and then put the pipe inside the bottle,enough so the fluid inside is covering it. Then open the niple and get the bird to pump the pedal. You'll see the fluid level in the bottle raise. if theres air in the system, you'll see the bubbles getting pushed out into the bottle. Keep doing it till theres no bubbles. If you start bleeding and theres no bubbles to start with, give it about 15 pumps then hold the pedal to the floor while you tighten the nipple. Do that for all 4 and see what happens.if it still goes to the floor i rekon theres a leak somewhere or your cylinders had it If it still does it, get the bird to put as much force on the brake pedal as possible,as you go round cheking all the joins. Will take ages and need to get under the car but its something to rule out.What your trying to do when bleeding the brakes is force all the air out and not let it return into the system,thats why the pipe should ALWAYS be submerged in fluid,so you push the air out but only fluid can return. (not trying to sound condesending to you nightspirit,just for people that might be reading )CHeers for that...and no it's not condescending at all, if I didn't want to know I wouldn't have asked I'll give that a go this weekend or tomorrow night infact!
