clint78z Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Recently I had a real bugger of a time on the 280z trying to bleed the brakes. I replaced the master cylinder, bench bled it (don't skip this). I still couldn't get them to pump up. I noticed small air bubbles in the front resovoir. This tipped me off the air was coming in the front brake somewhere. I used a hard line and squashed it off, I then screwed it into the master cylinder in the front port. Boom I had hard pedal. Then I screwed it into the drivers side just below the flex line, I had hard pedal still. That showed me that either the hard line to caliper or the caliper was leaking. I bent up a new hard line and brakes were fixed. A minor crack in the flared end, almost impossible to detect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
