What I've done in the past, is fill the reservoir, and open one bleeder on the back, and go drink a beer until brake fluid starts to drip out. Then close it and go open the other side, and have another beer. Once that starts to drip, you should be ready to do a regular bleed process. Works like a charm, and doesn't require any special tools or tricks, just a few beers.Erik
who is helping you bleed the brakes??
did you take the load sensing proportioning valve off, or just unhook the little bar, cause you have to completely bypass it to make it work, other wise the fluid will get to the proportioning and stop
Hmmmm, not sure what to make of that...Could there be a blockage of some kind in the brake line? Might want to check the MC, to make sure it's not clogged or something.Try going backwards thru the brake lines, and make sure everything is connected correctly, and no blocked. Other than that, I don't have much for a suggestion. Did you tighten the fronts before letting the backs bleed? Could be the fluid is taking the path of least resistance...ie the fronts.Good luck,Erik
I I don't know if it is possible for the fluid to drain to the rear since the line makes an abrupt turn and goes up over the brake booster. Will brake fluid still gravity feed up over the booster?
Are the calipers mounted with the bleeder's on top?If not you will never get them bled.
The bleeder screws are mounted up.
I mounted my Willwood valve right beside the master cylinder.I had the same problem that you are experiencing. I found that my issue was the ABS module for the rear diff. Its mounted on the passenger side frame rail. I replummed the brake lines to bypass the module and removed the ABS bulb from the dash. I also installed a Willwood residual valve to hold the line pressure and the system works great now. It seemed that the conversion put the ABS system into bypass mode and would not send fluid to the rear brakes.Hope this helps.
Something you might try,open bleeder,push pedal to floor,close bleeder.repeat.I have used this method before with good results.
Thanks smart a$$
Not sure if you've tried this or not. But Gravity bleeding one caliper at a time is a good way to get more pedal.
How is this done, I dont think I have ever heard of that.
Any chance the Monte Carlo calipers are stuck? What happens if you disconnect the line from the caliper- then can you use the mityvac to draw fluid?Ryan
