I recently overhauled both rear calipers and now i've put them back on they require bleeding. With the help of a friend who did the pedal pushing I first bled the rear left (passenger, uk) caliper which went fine. However the rear right one just will not bleed. Nothing comes out as far as I can tell, not even air. I have taken the bleed nipple off and it is not obstructed, i can blow air through it. What the hell is causing this? I'd really appreciate some help as the weather is grim and my only other means of transportation is a motorbike.

Have you checked the brake line for kinks?

QUOTE (Nial @ Dec 20, 2012 - 1:39 PM)  Have you checked the brake line for kinks? Yeah, there are none that I have found. Is there any merit to the idea that one circuit is preventing the other from being bled? Tomorrow I was going to try opening both rear bleed nipples at the same time and seeing if that helps. I thought it might be the ABS unit but I couldn't see a bleed valve on that so I guess not. |
