Brakes...Still...I give up!!

[Bruce Dorsi]

I know this may sound irrational, but there was a picture on the web showing that the bleed screw could be below the top of the caliper, as long as the PORT leading from the caliper bore to the bleed screw is at the top (highest point) of the caliper bore.

I think the picture was in the technical info of Master Power Brake's website, but I could not find it tonight.  

I don't know if the calipers you are using fall into this category.

The picture I referred to was at www.mpbrakes.com under tech info, but I see it is no longer available to the public, only to their customers.  ....It was in the troubleshooting section.

Bruce,

 Is this the pic you referred to?  I hope it posts, it's a 133K jpeg.  If not I'll try again.  I got it from here:  http://www.mustangsteve.com/granadadiscs.html  Thanks, Tom G.

I'll try this pic again.

Thanks for posting that pic, Tom, as it illustrates what I was trying to say with words.

I can't recall if that was the same pic I saw, but it is suitable for this thread!


Another thing I forgot to mention is that there may be a problem bleeding front brakes if a combination or metering valve is installed in the front circuit.  ....However, I don't think Jack is using either of those valves.
