To keep a long story short, I'm bleeding my brakes, having no problem with 3 of the four wheels. On one of the front calipers, I can get the BOTTOM bleeder to bleed clear brake fluid with no problem, but the TOP bleeder gives me nothing. I pulled both bleeder valves off, removed the incoming line from the brake hose and pushed compressed air through the bottom bleeder, but nothing will go through the top one. I take it that the incoming line feeds both through internal channels and that one is probably the left pad and the other for the right pad. Anyone have a diagram of internal fluid distribution? Is there any other choice but to pull the caliper and rebuild it (or buy a new one)? -Jim Bryant jbryant@niu.edu |
