Subject:      brake bleeding problems...
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

i just finished replacing wheel cylinders, brake pads, and turning the
rotors...i bleed the rear wheels, no problem, but when i moved up to bleed
the front wheels, no brake fluid would come out...on either side.  i removed
the brake line at the caliper and fluid driped out, so it's not the hose,
but it just seems strange that both of the calipers would be bad.  i'm sure
i'm missing something.  bentley says something about removing a hose from
the booster (something i didn't so).  is this necessary or is it causing the
problem?  any ideas/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.


cheers,
kurt
