| What's your question? |
I'm having trouble bleeding the brakes on the front with dual discs. I get it tight and it is good til I start up then no brakes...been repeating this step through a full bottle of fluid and starting another. Any tips on getting the trapped air out?

Answers:
- I suggest using a vacuum pump you can rent one at most part stores or buy one for 30 bucks. it will knock the time down to a couple of minutes. By: scottybob on: 8-4-2010
- crack open the nut @ the master line while SLOWLY applying pressure, I had the problem before & I'm cheep, too. By: capnbill on: 8-4-2010
- In addition to the other tips, bleed the furthest caliper first. Are you sure the master seals are good? By: beau on: 8-4-2010
- Didn't think about that, I will check the spacers this evening and see if that is the problem. By: gypsylonerider on: 8-5-2010
- checked the spacers...they are ok but i think i found out what is wrong. Looks like my fkn right rotor is warped and the left one is almost at min thickness. Stands out like a sore thumb now that I am lookin at it, don't know how I missed it! Thanks for all the responses, it was my dumbass that was workin myself too hard!
