Re: Brake problems

You may have to fab up a pressure bleeder and pressure bleed them.

Something on this concept but you would have to make a cap that fit your master cylinder. http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed...eder/index.htm

A google search for DIY pressure brake bleeder brings up a bunch of ideas. Some you have to view with a grain of salt and some are pretty good but the idea is the same. Small pump up garden sprayer, hose and a cap set up to connect to the master cylinder and seal on it. One shows using a piece of pvc hose and a catch bottle to catch the fluid when you bleed the caliper but I figure you would do that anyhow.
