Caliper/Brake Line Routing/Attachment
Guys,
Last weekend I helped a buddy remove and paint the calipers on his 02 vert. After we re-attached the brake lines and mounted the calipers to the brackets, it seemed like the front passenger side brake line was twisted too much. There is a channel on the on the drivers side front caliper where the brake line rides after it is attached. I did the same for the passenger side, but it seems to be in a bind. The reason I am asking is because his brakes seem soft. I have a Motive bleeder and we completely purged the lines of bubbles. In fact, I checked it three times to make sure there were no bubbles in the lines. But, I am wondering if a twisted line might cause the brakes to be a bit soft.
Anyone have a picture of the front passenger side showing where the line is attached and routed from the caliper?
Many thanks in advance.
