gacksen Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 case closed cleaned the garage of all the brake fluid mess. slept a night over it and gave it a go some hours ago. problem has not been MC or prop valve. it was just air in the rear calipers. didn´t even touch the pressure bleeder or rebleed the MC. jacked thar up and followed the advice with the bleeder at the rear claipers beeing not at the highest point. before that went to the auto store and bought a new can of ATE racing blue brake fluid. pushed the pedal first and went to see if there are any bubbles in the hose. i can tell you there were some. didn´t think the angle would make that much of a difference. next thing the speedbleeders are air tight on the threads. no problem with that. did the other side of the rears without touch the fronts until the fluid went all blue. got the car of the ramps and checked the pressure. it is better than i got it out of the shop and what they did had been a pressure bleed. i want to thank you all for your helpfull advice to solve my problem so i can continue the restoration on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The color doesn't matter. Just bleed a 1/4 pint out of each corner and you know you've flushed most of the old stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacksen Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 have emtiped the reservoir almost fully to be sure it got flushed. color change was quite obvious. currently running motul 5.1 brake fluid on my other cars but thought will give the ATE blue a go. @RebekahsZ if you need some i can sent you some over but i think there are plenty of alterntives. 1L sells here for around 20-22 USD. got the geo set up today and the corner wheights done. car weight was 1070kg with 3/4 tank without driver. when i drove home i enjoyed the handling first time since i bought it. Those ACZ componets are great to adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
