Default Re: SVT Brakes on ZX3

If you aren't getting any more air out of the calipers, bleed them from the lines at the master cylinder. Here is the process:

you need 2 people

have your helper sit in the car, attempt to slowly pump the pedal. With the pedal down half way and held steady crack the first master cylinder line just enough to get air or fluid. When your helper says pedal is on the floor have them hold it until you have the line tightened and repeat till you get no air. After all the master cylinder lines are bled, the calipers will need to be bled again. You obviously have air in your system and a lot of it.

Also if you are using a vacuum bleeder or pneumatic bleeder you can slightly tap the calipers with a wrench to help get any trapped air bubbles out.
