Confuzzled With My Brakes

[stuart.m 0]

Is your mi a 2 wheel drive?

 

If so, the air could be stuck in the brake compensator, the answer is to unbolt the rear brake calipers one at a time, put a peice of wood or something between the brake pads to stop the piston coming all the way out. Lift the brake caliper higher than the brake compensator and get somebody to pump the brake while you bleed it, this should let the air to the highest point, the bleed nipple. We do this often at work on old 405's.

Thought I'd drag up an old thread - not like theres many new ones appearing

 

Anyway, I had this problem and it was driving me crazy, the advice from pugmt is spot on pedal is great! Negative points, im covered in brake fluid, which isnt so good.
