Bled new Wilwood brakes but still spongy pedal

<< < (33/37) > >>

jimandemma:
Hard to clamp the lines as they are all hard lines or braided. When we clamped the lines before, actually dented the braid.

BOSCHVETTE:
put the rubber hoses back on and do the tests if you are still having the problem then its not in a hose. If you are not having a problem replace one hose at a time until you find the offending hose.

jimandemma:
Don't think it's the hoses, has to be a fault in the calipers maybe.

If you still have these wildwood lines fitted make some blanks to block the lines at the hard line on the chassis mount.
this is what you need if you can`t make some thing up
Edelmann Inverted Flare Plug Fittings 120300.
they are probably available from Aeroquip as well.
if you are carful you can use a 3/8" unf bolt for this and a O-ring   one for each fitting  you want a BS010 o-ring
put the o-ring in the fitting and nip the bolt down onto it . do not over tighten .
bleed by loosing the bolt.
any questions PM me for a contact number,
eliminate the cheep parts first.
you can try taking the callipers off each disc fit a block of wood in each 2mm smaller that the disc width and pump the pistons out and push back by hand to bleed air , then refit.
you can do this with caliper on, if you have an old set of pads. but don't pump the pistons out of the calipers
