Finally Got Some S2 Brakes But Bleeding Them Is A Pain

[Guest ukchopper1]

hi guys not driven the Rscab since the national Rs owners day at donnington. August!

 

well brakes ceased on me as i got home.

 

this was after a water hose burst, and a hose came of my turbo which sent the turbo into supersonic mode (turbo went beyond any sound limit almost quiet), unfortnatly the boost was too much i had "over boost" at 2.5k revs which was hard to drive with. so i limped home and its been sat there since then!

 

so finaly ive got some s2 brakes calipers

new pads and disks etc

 

but bleeding them is a nightmare, just how ever i do it e-zbleead, two man method; they are spongy.

 

so my question is "what is the correct wheel order to bleed the brakes on a cab??

 

cheers guys

might be just as easy to take it to a fast fit place and get em to power bleed it,, chances are the fluid will need replacing anyway,,

just my tuppence

If your bleeding the whole system I always bleed the brake thats furthest away from the master cylinder which on your cab would be the drivers side rear

[Guest steelcabby]

isn't it, drivers rear, passengers rear, drivers frontg and passengers front?

 

make sure you bleed enough fluid out, you might not be bleeding enough which is causing air to still be in the system. make sure you keep the resevior topped up at all times when bleeding.

the order i have always used for bleeding my cabs brakes is drivers rear passenger front drivers front then passenger rear, when i put my rs turbo brakes on i had a problem bleeding one of them with the eazibleed so refered back to the 2 man method of pump and hold and that worked magic for me, hope this helps you thanks eddie.

Working now! Two man method is the best option ithink, when bleeding brakes . also did it inthis order: Drivers rear passenger rear, drivers front then finished with passenger front. this work best for me for any one else out there with bleeding issues.
