Re: Trouble bleeding, no pedal - new disc conversion

I ran into the same problem with similar calipers. See how the bleeder screw is pointed up at say 1 o'clock. Air can get trapped. I unbolted the caliper and rotated it so the bleeder was straight up 12 o'clock position. I held it in place (unbolted) while I bleed to allow the trapped air to escape while bleeding.

I was way frustrated until a mechanic friend mentioned to try that. It worked.

I hope this make sense. Good luck brakes can be frustrating.
