bc1987 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Ok so lots of info out there but... wtf is going on with the brakes?! Had the caliper off to be repaired and all the fluid drained out. Thought meh I can fix this... 3 bleed attempts later I still have a spongy brake pedal so take it down to my local independent... they spend 2 hours draining through the system (trust me I sat and watched) still not right. The brakes work but they are not as sharp as before I took off the caliper. Any ideas? Am I going to have.tp take it to Nissan?! Edited July 15, 2017 by bc1987 Quote
jumping350 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) have they been bled in the right order? did the brake resevoir go empty? Edited July 15, 2017 by jumping350 Quote
bc1987 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 Reservoir was empty when I started, have been bled in correct order multiple times. Quote
SpeedyZee Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 What method are you using for bleeding the brakes, two person method, one way valve with one person, automatic brake bleeder etc Quote
bc1987 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 So I have done two person, 1 person 1way valve then the garage did q suction bleed and a two person. What's the most successful? Quote
bc1987 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 It is now at the point where it is safely drivable but still spongy. Weirdly getting squeaking from nsr when turning left also... Quote
bc1987 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 Hmm I hadn't clocked that the rears had two bleed points too... Quote
Rob350 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Sorry to hijack a thread but could someone tell me the order of bleeding... is it left rear.. right rear.. front left front right??? I'm changing my brake fluid to rbf 600, iv never changed brake fluid before but how hard can it be right... (famous last words) I'm going to syringe most of the old fluid out, fill with new and then have someone pump the brakes and then open the bleeder till clean fluid flows.. just wanted to now the order of what brake to bleed first please??. And any other tips would be appreciated Cheers Quote

bc1987 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 Can I use a DTI to look for brake warping? what are usual tolerances? still getting brake judder. Quote
