Brake Problems
hey everyone.
i am having a major problem with my brakes. i have bleed them so many times now i cant even remember how many. the rear brakes seem to be ok but the front ones always have air in them, there is so much air in the front brakes that i cant even stop. its really bad, also the front break fluid gets fomey while bleeding. i have chaged the capilors twice and master cylinder twice aswell. there is no leaking anywhere. i cant seem to find the problem. i was wondering if you guys can help me out. thanks everyone. |

Have you tried changing the hoses that go from the steel lines to the calipers?
What type of car? Do you have a proportioning valve?

This may sound like a stupid question but are the calipers on the right side ? Are the bleeders on the top or bottom ? If you accidently put them on backwards with on bleeder on bottom that would certainly cause what you describe.

1st of all, how did this problem start? Did u blow a line or cylinder and run the master cylinder dry? Did u bench bleed the master before installation? If system ran dry it's very hard to get the air out, most GM master cylinders don't sit level and it's hard to get air out unless u level the master by lifting the cars rear till master is level. Foaming in master is air bubbles stuck in master coming out through intake ports in master cylinder reservior.

As far as I know you can't have Steel lines going to the calipers becuase they need to flex as you turn the wheel. Unless you are talking about stainless Steel braided lines.
