Nicksredline Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Make sure you start in the rear not the front. Start at the right rear then left rear then right front then left front...it moves all the air to the front when doing this( or keeps it from bleading forward. If u blead the fronts first it is going to sstop as ur explaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Wanna help a brother out I would start by bleeding all four corners like suggested and go from there, I would also check and make sure you do not have a caliper/wheel cylinder leaking. Also check the vac line that runs from the intake to the booster for holes or leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 like everyone else said and to possibly save you some headace when you bleed them make sure the bleeder is on top. I am not 100 percent sure on the fox but on some you can bolt the left caliper on the right side no problems but the bleeder will be on the bottom. CHECK AND MAKE SURE THE BLEEDERS ARE ON TOP as if they are on the bottom you can bleed forever and you will not get all the air out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 if there is no air in the line when you bleed them than it sounds like a master cylinder is junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
