Brake Bleeding
Ok, I have a stupid questioen. I've been bleeding my brakes for about 3 days and have gotten nowhere. I changed out 1 caliper. I haven't touched any of the other wheels and now i keep bleeding fluid and air out and it seems never ending. I've never had this happen to me before and was wondering if this is common and i should just chug along or could there be a problem. I've put a few solid hours of bleeding into it so far. thanks.

Re: Brake Bleeding
Yeah, i've been on top of keeping the res full and i've been careful about how i bleed so i dont let any air get sucked back in. it's bizarre. never seen this before.

Re: Brake Bleeding
How does the pedal feel? I may have misread your post, but you should only have needed to bleed the one caliper you replaced. Do you have access to a vacuum bleeder?

Re: Brake Bleeding
I did only bleed the one. Tonight i continued on my quest and finally got to a point where there were no visible air bubbles. Pedal was still to the floor however i had enough break pressure in the other wheels i was able to take a test drive.after driving a mile or so the hydraulic pressure pushed into the caliper and i have a solid pedal again. i guess it just needed the run around the block. i appreciate everyone's help!
