So I'm new here to the forum and I am having some problems bleeding my rear brakes. Its a 69 Camaro and it had factory disc/drum brakes. I decided to upgrade them and swap the drums for brakes. I upgraded the brakes to factory 2010+ Camaro Brembos.
What is equipped:
Wilwood 1.125" master cylinder
dual diaphragm booster
SSBC manual proportioning valve
14" 6/4 pot brembo calipers
Factory steel lines
Rubber rear hoses
Stainless Steel front lines
I've been trying to bleed the rear brakes for the last few weeks but I can't get any pressure for them to lock up. So far I've tried:
Bench bleeding the master cylinder twice
Lashed the master cylinder and pushrod
Gravity bled the system
Bled the brakes starting at RR, LR, RF, LF
Vacuum bleed all the calipers
Bled each rear caliper starting with the inside bleeder, then outside
Tied both rear calipers together and vacuum bled them
re-bled them with the proportioning valve wide open
replaced a questionable steel lines
I've moved over a quart of fluid through the rear calipers and I am still battling a pressure issue. I don't think its an air lock.
I think the factory steel drum brake line is not allowing it to build pressure or something else?
I need some help/guidance to what could be the problem.
