Thread: Brake pedal goes to floor after brake job

Bleed bleed bleed bleed bleed bleed bleed AGRESSIVELY.

A friend suggested maybe the bmc is bad. It worked just fine before we replace the calipers and rotors, so idk how that could be it. Ill bleed it again tomorrow I guess. This sucks...

B14? B13? Are you bleeding it in the right order?

did you bleed the mc. Also if you do not bleed them in the correct order it takes forever to get all the air bubbles out.

I only replaced the front calipers, but do I need to bleed the rear calipers too? I wasn't sure, but if that's the case ill feel dumb haha.

you put the calipers on correctly? bleeder screw should be at the top of the caliper

its highly recommended to bleed the whole system start from the farthest caliper away from the master cylinder.

When you bled the system, you made sure that the MC never went dry, right?

Yes we made sure there was plenty of fluid in it before we started. Then added a lil as we bled them. I'm going to try also bleeding the rear calipers tonight.

explain your bleeding process you might be doing it incorrectly and make sure the calipers are on right side up

I pump the brakes 10 times, my brother releases the bleeder valve. Repeat a few times. It stiffens, until I turn the car on, then the pedal goes to the floor. There is plenty of fluid. Idk wtf is going on.

I forgot to add that after the pumps I hold down the brake pedal until he releases and re-tightens the bleeder valve.
