I have a 73 roadster w/ manual brakes, ,just change trailing arms, had rear calipers off for a few days,put calipers back on,manual bled,no luck, motive power bled, ran 2 Qts off fluid thru whole system , 4 wheels still no air bubbles at all, no pedal, I have no leaks, good calipers and still no brakes, any suggestions??

MrJlr

Are you bleeding ALL the bleeders? I missed/forgot the inboard bleeders on the rear one time.....felt pretty silly.......

glenn c6

only 1 bleeder on each caliper

myk7

Pretty sure the rears have 2 on each caliper

my 76 ray

Yep, the rears have two bleeders. One on the inside of the rotor and one on the outside. The inner bleeder needs to be bled before the outer bleeder or you won't get the air out.

bashcraft

Nope.

Yup.

MrJlr

There ya go.....I'm guilty of the same thing a few years ago.....

We've ALL forgotten the 2nd one on the rear calipers, at one time or another....

When the calipers were off did the MC go dry?

Easy Mike

Two bleeders on the rears; one for each caliper half. One bleeder on each of the fronts.

gcusmano74

Yes. Absolutely.

Power bleed from the bleeders to the master, use about 15Psi, the portioning valve thinks something is wrong, need to trick it.
This is the only thing that worked here. it did work

MrJlr

To the OP......did you ever get it worked out?????

glenn c6

Yes, fixed 2 minutes after I bleed second rear bleeders, I knew they were there but never thought you needed to bleed both,your right, I feel dumb, but job complete, THANKS ALL

MrJlr

Awesome.....
