Halp /o/

So today I changed my front discs and pads. Also bled all 4 corners, but now there is very little pressure and the pedal does nothing until it hits the bottom.

I've got a 'one man bleed kit' thing, but I couldn't find a 10mm spanner, so I used a socket instead. This means I had to take the tube off the nipple after bleeding. then tighten it with the socket.

Does tightening the nipple without a tube full of brake fluid attached fuck up the whole thing?

You got air in the system bleed them again you tard

ok thanks ..

I did the same thing and have almost no brake. Been rising like this for a few weeks. Drive a Chevy cobalt ss for reference.
>>
>>14993449
did you remember to mix some water with the brake fluid when filling the reservoir back up?

this helps the flow

undo all the nipples, pump until there is ZERO fluid left in the system. Completely dry, then fill with 50% water, then 50% fluid.

what the christ
brake fluid only
water decreases the boiling point and could get rust into the system

I just drip bleed these days, it wastes fluid but I don't even care since you can get a quart of fluid for like 5 bucks.
Open the bleeder and let it drip out for a few minutes or until the fluid runs clear.
All the air will eventually run out of the line.

Still air in the system because of the way you had to remove the tube to tighten it.

Find a 10mm wrench and do it right

If you have to buy a 10mm wrench, buy a line wrench. Makes bleeding and working with lines much easier and faster. You're not supposed to use an open end wrench on lines anyway, and box ends either don't work at all/have to be put on before the hose on bleeder nipples.

Low temperatures actually slow corrosion. It's continued exposure to road salt that does that.

Actually still good, nothing dangerous about it. I've checked quite thoroughly, and very few spots have any corrosion, as the original protection have held up reasonably well, and the car has a low mileage for its age

My buds W202 might be doing a bit worse

800k is not nice on most things here in good old salt land. Always fun to have to heat up king pins to red hot to be able to pound them out with a sledge.
