Front brakes

[450rmaniac718]

Some needs to show me how to put my front brakes on and the best way to blead them after the caliper was off the rotor and all the plugs were took out because there is alot of air in my lines and it sucks cause i have brand new brakes and cant use them cause of air in my lines!

Well either pump them buy hand or go to the parts store and invest in a pressure bleeder that will take care of it in a hurry.

and may those be how much?

I am not quite sure i paid about 30 bucks for mine, If you have a bottle of brake fluid and some hose run the hose from the bleeder into the bottle and crack open the bleeder then pump the lever this will disperse the air bubbles and only take you to do no other assistants.

I had to bleed my brakes when I put on my a arms and I had no problem getting all the air out. If your going to buy a pressure bleeder go for it, but if you dont want to spend money and have a little time I can tell you how to bleed them.

HOW?

To start, take off the master cylinder cover and make sure it is full. Then open the caliper bleeder and let it gravity bleed till fluid starts comming out. I had to pump the brake lever at frist because I when I put on new brake lines there was no fluid in them.

Close the bleeder and do so for the other side. Wait till fluid comes out then close them. During this process make sure the master cylinder does NOT run out of fluid.

After gravity bleeding both sides pump the brake lever and see if you have pressure. I had a little but it didnt feel good so after that I opened only one bleeder and pulled the brake lever SLOWLY and watched bubles come out of the bleeder screw.

Just befor your brake lever is all the way pulled in, close the bleeder. Dont let go of the brake lever untill you close the bleeder. You may suck in air when doing so. Pump the brake lever slowly a few times and bleed it again.

Repeat for both sides. I had to go back and froth from the left side to the right side to get all the air out.

Make sure your master is full when your done, and your supposed to use DOT 4 brake fluid. It helps if you put a catch can under the caliper so you dont spill brake fluid on the floor. Oah I just remembered, I had to remove a rubber gromet in the master cylinder. It seemed to be restricting some of the fluid flow when I was gravity bleeding. When you pull the master cylinder cover off its the black rubber piece in the bottom. Make sure you put that back in after you bleed the brakes.

Hope this helps, let me know how you do.

whats the difference than 3 an 4

Well gravity bleeding is going to get some of the air out just by the brake fluid taking the place of the air. Its a good start but there will be small amounts air traped in the lines and calipers.

Pumping the brake leaver is going to force air and brake fluid out. Its more of the final steps of getting all the air out.

Wait, I just relized what you were asking. If your talking about brake fluid, the dot 4 has a higher boiling point. They use it on all high performance applications, because it helps prevent brake fade.
