Cant Get Brakes To Work.

[john_mchutchison]

Hi all, i fitted my new brembo front calipers and discs today, front and rear, but now the brake pedals goes to the floor when the car is running.

Ive bled the nipples 3 times each and there doesnt seem to be any air coming out them just fluid.

Anyone got any advice? car is stuck up on axel stands for the night

Forgot to say its MY03 WRX.

just found out that i might have been bleeding them in the wrong order. I did it furthest from servo to nearest to servo but its supposed to be front passenger, Rear driver, front driver, rear passenger.

Can anyone confirm this for me.

hope this helps

A routine is an old wife's tale, been bleeding brakes for 20 years, and it really doesn't make a difference. the big thing is to make sure that the fluid doesn't get too low, and that each pump or the pedal is nice and slow up and down. Have you bleeding the inner nipple on the Brembos first, then moving to the outer nipple?

thx for replies guys but it turns out i had them on upside down so all the bleeding and which order was for fa.

Got them all sorted anyway.

Yep, air always rises to the top, so you really were fighting a losing battle.
