smokin5s Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 so both of my rear calipers were siezed on my blazer, I replaced both of them but noticed a slight leak around where the line connects to the caliper... no big deal, I replace the line and copper rings... I use a hand pump to bleed the brakes and I THINK it's bleed good enough... now when the car's off, I can pump the brakes and it gets hard, I turn the car on, the pedal goes all the way to the floor and the brake light is on.... if I turn it off, I can pump it back up stiff... what's going on? did I not bleed the brakes good enough or is something else going on?

wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Did you try bleeder all the brakes in the correct order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I didn't realize there was an order to bleeding the brakes so no I didn't.... when my wife got home, I bled them the old fashioned way and everything seems to be ok now... what is the correct order for bleeding?

GSXRAntwon Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Start farthest away from the master cylinder and work your way around (usually right rear, left rear, right front, left front). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 hmmmm I might try that in a few days, I still need to get it up to Derek's to loosen the lug nuts since they must have used an impact gun that was set too high.

Cordell Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 May have gotten air into the ABS pump, still sounds like a bleeding problem to me. Did you allow the lines to drip for a while as you were doing the install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 drip no, but it had a leak in one of the lines for a day... last night, I tried to get a new line but the only place I could get a line was napa so I had to wait for them to open...

Cordell Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think you should just keep bleeding it in the correct order to include all the wheels. What year Blazer is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 98 I'll probably get under there again and bleed them... I need to find the time to do it when my wife or someone else is home.... that stupid hand pump is a bitch to bleed brakes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you're in Blacklick, you're right around the corner from me if you want a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
