Help!

I've got some volvo 4 pots on my capri but they've got 3 bleed nipples on each cailper, what order are you supposed to bleed them?

 

One on each set of pots and one at the top like normal

[Guest pistonbroke]

I would have thought any order you like as long as you get all the air out of them.

Also i've bled them and the pedal went hard, it's gone soft now though and the brakes only work when my foots nearly on the floor. Does this mean i've got a leak?

[Gonzo]

did you do all the nipples up properly? had this on my old man's bike. took us ages to figure it out! I woulda bled em from bottom to top meself, as air goes up.

[Guest pistonbroke]

Possibly still some air in the system somewhere, or the master cylinder is weeping around the seal.

Does it have a servo?

 

Also if your using a standard master cylinder with bigger calipers it wont move enough fluid. you'll have to get a bigger master if thats the case.

How is your brake system plumbed in

 

I'd say check your rear wheel cylinders,

as they're normally the first to go

 

Let us know how ya get on
