Still no difference really when the engine was on and pressing the brake. It only did that cycle once on all the corners. each corner I would undo nipple then get in car, press brake down, hit continue then you’d hear some kind of pump (abs,DSC?) that would make some noise and put pressure on the pedal against you, close nipple and then it was done onto the next side. It basically got me to go RR, RL, FR, FL. It didn’t seem like the full process though. So I then saw you could do a brake bleed through ista which I did. There was air coming out of the callipers when looking at bleeder pipe at first but no more. I then proceeeded to bleed all brakes from furthest to closest but each time the brakes were still very spongy, I did this about 5/6 times and the difference seemed negligible. Then added brake fluid to pressure bleeder and pumped to 15 psi, left for 10/15 mins, no leaks or pressure lost again. Then set bleeder to 10 psi to start to see if there were any leaks, no leaks and no pressure lost. I then wanted to bleed the brakes and replace with new fluid so I got a pressure bleeder and removed the old fluid down to the min line in the reservoir. In the process the rear left short hard line broke and was leaking, so I made a new line with kunifer pipe and double flare ends. I replaced with stainless steel braided hoses. I replaced four, the only two I didn’t replace were the two rear nearer the middle, quite awkward to get to so decided to leave them and they actually looked in better condition compared to the others. When fitting callipers I noticed the brake hoses were not looking good so I thought I’d replace them while I was there. I basically just capped it off with a tapered seal/plug and I didn’t lose much fluid at all. These callipers were supposedly in working condition and had been tested before selling, they did look in better condition than my old ones.įirst mistake I made as I didn’t realise was that I didn’t depress the brake when any lines were open. I replaced the three callipers and on all four I replaced the slider pins and slider grommet thing. I managed to get 3 used callipers (rl, fl, fr but no rr). Seemed like it was the piston and I was going to replace the whole calliper. It’s a high mileage car 197k and probably original callipers.
Rear left brake calliper started to stick on. I’ll try and make this as short as possible.
