bleeding brakes
any tips?

i swapped out all my brakes for some 300z fronts.

all new pads, ss lines, rotors... on all 4 corners

i think there is no more air left.... but i guess there is...cause as soon as i turn the car on... i can push the pedal to the floor...

yes did them in the correct order...


i am sitting here at work trying to figure out what i need to do... i have to wait till tomorrow to try again....

(had to take my g/f explorer to work)


and yes i took some pics... but you will have to wait till i post them in a different thread...

I am wondering since you increased the rears to the bigger calipers(am I correct that's what you did) if that has any issues with the pedal feel.

looks like the ultimate fail is your brake installing skills, or lack thereof.

BURNN!!!!!

In other words you had the calipers on the wrong way?
