Rear brakes

[davemusic_123]

I was fitting some new rear brake pads, when I got a leak in one of the pipes. So I replaced that and then bled the whole brake system. So there's no air in there now. But when I turn on the ignition on I have no brakes at all?

did you replace the washers on the banjo fitting ? did you bleed whole system including master cylinder ? pressure bleed or 2 man method ?

A few people have had problems bleeding their brakes recently, so glad I didn't do mine 

If there is air in the system could you not just 'bleed' the air out of the system until fluid comes out of all the nipples?

I bled each caliper thats all. two man job

[gm8]

should really pressure bleed , 2 man job can filp seals in master cylinder. If there is no washers on the banjo fitting thats a prob !

Bleed the 2 nipples on the master cylinder

Remember that brake system work on diagonal opposites. As in the offside front is connected to the neat side rear and near side front is connected to offside rear. So if you loose fluid from one of the rear brakes it's not both rears you have to bleed.

Thanks that's good to know, well Ive bled the master cylinder and got some air out of there. But theres still air in there somewhere. I noticed I had a leak on my rear caliper hose, so that a job for this morning then more bleeding great fun

I believe they should be bleed with the engine running.
