Front Caliper Issues

[hustlemanjp]

I just put a new 300 Kit and decided to go with steel braided lines all around.

I took the right caliper off and the just running the front left.

I've tried to gravity bleed over night... I used the speed bleeder bag and still not getting any pressure when engauge the brake lever.

Busa Nation I need your help.

Dang, if you were closer I'd lend a hand. Have you gone old school and tried it manually? Pump pump etc etc. Held lever down while someone opens the bleeder screw on caliper? Close bleeder screw. Then release lever and run the process all over till you build pressure. Also I set the lever to the longest travel position.

Go to harbor freight and invest in a vacuum bleeder.

Best of luck brother. Is all your handy work tight and leak free.

Vacuum bleed it with a Mityvac. Quick, simple and painless.

I've done the pump and bleed and everything is tight and leak free... will try to vacuum bleed it... and let you know.

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah the vacuum pump will help you fill the line. Pump and hold will take forever with an empty system. On my bike I vacuum bled to fill it the did the gentle pump on the lever to get the little bubbles out. It can sometimes be tricky.

You gotta think like an air bubble trapped in the line!
