Disc Brake Kit Problem & Solution
Part number:
DBK
Description:
Empi says:
99% of the calls we receive concerning problems with brake installation comes down to 1 problem...AIR IN THE LINES.
No one wants to hear it, after having bled the system 2 or 3 times, but spongy pedal, pads dragging, etc., almost always is the symptom of air trapped in the system.
Be sure to Bench Bleed a new master cylinder if installed.
There are a few different '1 Man Bleeders' available - Mityvac and others.
Use our new Quick Bleeders...make it easy on yourself and your helpers.
If installing new Disc Brake Calipers, rotate them to where the bleeder is around the 12 O'Clock position for bleeding (easier to get the air to travel straight up). Complete the bleeding, then rotate the caliper into position for install.
When all else fails, take the car to a professional for bleeding and adjusting.
Small price to pay if you do not have the patience.
