Hey guys, Village Idiot here again.
Car: 93 940 ABS
Current Conundrum: Brake Bleeding Sequence etc
Done so far:
Got car's butt on axle stands.
Decided to replace and flush my brake system while my rear axle was in need of love. I installed IPD SS lines after compressing each brake caliper and examining the pads. Now when I pump the brakes with car off 3+ times I get the pedal slowly *under constant pressure of my foot mind you* going to the floor. When I crank the car up I get almost no pressure at all. Pedal just goes to floor with slightest pressure of my foot and returns each time.
This just screams that air is still in the system to me, but hell i've been wrong before
All this above happened after I bled the system the first time going from right rear, left rear, right front, left front. Then because I was told I needed to bleed the MC tits I attempted to do that as well. Some where along the line the MC got really low/ almost empty of DOT 4 on first bleeding*I didn't check fluid level between calipers like an idiot*
Question:
Can I attempt to use the MC nipples to get the air outa the system or should I leave them alone an continue to bleed the system via the calipers? And am I doing the correct sequence?
