Having trouble bleeding rear brakes
Hey! This is my first post on this forum. I need some help diagnosing why I can't get the rear brakes to bleed or maybe build pressure.
Background:
Could it be the feed line to the rear is too big? Could it be the rubber hoses to the calipers are ballooning? I don't want to just throw parts at it but I don't know where to look either.
Background:
- Originally a rear drum brake car, converted over to disc with a bigbrakeupgrade kit to use 2010+ factory Brembos.
- Willwood 1.125" master cylinder with a small dia. Double diaphragm booster
- SSBC manual prop valve
- Factory lines from the master cylinder out.
- Bench bleed the master cylinder twice off the car
- Replaced questionable lines with same size lines.
- Lashed the pushrod from the booster to master cylinder (was too long)
- Gravity bled the brakes to start
- Bled both the rear brakes together with a vacuum pump
- Bled both calipers separately starting with outside screw, then inside screw.
- Adjusted the proportion valve and re-bled the brakes
- Double checked my math and application.
Could it be the feed line to the rear is too big? Could it be the rubber hoses to the calipers are ballooning? I don't want to just throw parts at it but I don't know where to look either.
