Thread: ad22vf rebuild kit?

I made it as simple as possible, you could do the same thing with a compressor and a jar of brake fluid IMO.







You also need to come up with some kind of pressure worthy cap that will take the end of that clear tube, to go in place of your master cylinder's cap. I used a large washer with a hole in the middle of it that fit the tube.(Not pictured, I just moved and it is lost in a box somewhere) Then I ziptied the washer with the tube to the MC with a dozen or so ties so that it held pressure. (I am sure you can buy caps made for this somewhere but I am pretty ghetto about stuff like this)

Just fill the tank with brake fluid, pump the pump up don't hit 10psi. Bleed the brakes in the usual order by just turning the bleeders like normal. Pump the every once in a while and don't run out of fluid or you will have to do the caliper you are on over.

This way doesn't rely of the density of the fluid to let the bubble rise out. It forces everything in the line out under pressure.

Thank you, that is a good idea, especially when you have to bleed by yourself

I just use something like this.

now I have different problem, I changed the brake lines to ss lines and bled the system... buuuuut the pedal feels soft, I try all the combination that i found here and the FSM, but Still the same.

Can be the caliper in wrong side? as I said I have 2 right calipers...

well i once had my calipers switched from left to right and i couldn't get them right had to pay $80 to find out they where switched so i believe them being the same is your problem!!!

You can tell if they are wrong by the bleeder screws, that is the only I know to tell. It would be a problem because the screw isn't at the high point. The air bubbles have to rise to the highest point before they can be bled out.

You might want to make a pressure bleeder like I did, or buy a fancy prebuilt one. Before I made the the pressure bleeder I tried speed bleeders and two different styles of one man bleeders and a hand vacuum pump at the auto store. The problem with other systems is the pressure doesn't get high enough to force the air out, and air can get trapped anywhere in the system. But when you force high pressure fluid through the lines it gets the air out quick. A system like the one I built, is the only way most old school hot rod guys with master cylinders below the calipers can even bleed their brakes at all.

yes, I know I have wrong caliper, because of the bleed screw and because it has a mark "R" I notice that...

I will copy your bleeder system

it will be very hard to get all the air out of the bleeder that is not at the top, i highly suggest you get the correct brake caliper for that side, they make them different for a reason.

I was looking for a rebuild kit that greg quote me in gspec, but I can not find it.

Anyone can give me the link or picture of the parts for that kit?

Here's a link to a thread in the 'How to' section for rebuilding the calipers.

AD22VF Rebuild

I could give you a UK part number for the seal kit but i don't think it will be much use to you.
I wish i'd spotted your post a few days ago. A genuine kit just went on UK ebay for about £5 !
