Ok here is the Subject

1984 Trans-AM,
New Classic Tube Stainless Steel Rear Brake Line
Installed but am haveing trouble bleeding Any help would be appricated

 

start at the bleeder the greatest distance from the MC and bleed it working to the next closest. you can start with a gravity bleed before you go to pressure bleed. i've had great results with a pheniox injector and reverse bleed.

 

Ok ede just in case I forgot to mention that this is a Factory 10bolt with disc brakes. the car is my brothers, I was supprised to find it had a 10bolt w/disc, the calipers are a gray powdercoated. anyways.

what you are saying is to start bleeding at the Passenger side Rear caliper and then go to the driversied rear cailper?

Ok here is what is going on. after the line was installed I filled the MC full of fluid and put the lid on had my brother pump the brakes untill he felt the pedal get stiff, I then started bleeding where the New rear line connects to the PV so I could get fluid started into the line. Then After it got going I went to the drivers side rear caliper and had him pump untill the pedal felt stiff and hold it. I started to bleed some fluid and air came out then quit, so I tightened the bleeder and checked the MC fluid added what was neededand went back to the rear Driverside cailper and did it again every once and a while It wouldn't even Push any fluid.

Could you explain Gravity Bleeding and pheniox injector and reverse bleed. I know alot more about Engines than Brakes. I have never had a porblem bleeding brakes before but this is the first time I have ever installed a brand new One piece line.

Thanks

 

gravity bleed is opening bleed screw and let gravity do the work, let fluid run out on it's own, along wit hair. pheniox injector is a tool for bleeding hydrolics, either by vacuum or pressure. reverse bleed is forcing fluid in at the bleed screw and out the MC.
