OP
Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
Yesterday I changed both front and back brake pads, shoes, drums and rotors. I had trouble pushing back the passenger front caliper because I did not have the right clamp in my garage so I took it off. Once I got every on, I tried to bleed the brakes but I don't seem to get a good high pedal and the brake light is on. My fluid level is good and there seems to be an excellent stream of fluid with no air out of the bleeders. The brakes seem to work well as I took it for a drive but the pedal seems low and the brake light isn't going out. Any Ideas?

Pretty much stock, except for the goofy oil pressure gauge the previous owner installed.

Try filling the fluid all the way to the rim. The censer in there is kinda finneky. I had the same problem. Good luck.
Post back if it fixes it.

Did you bleed the proportioning valve, that seems to be the recurring problem with recent brake jobs, that valve gets a ton of air in it...
