Before posting, read the Rules I find it less hassle and cost to just replace or rebuild all of the rubber parts at the same time.For feedback, questions, announcements, and tutorials about. All of them have teh same rubber type (EPDM). Typically.in my experience.if you are replacing old brake lines and /or wheel cylinders or calipers.all of them are the same age. Keep your pressure low unless you are SURE of how tight your fluid supply lines are on the reservoir and master cylinder nipples. If its still functional enough.but has enough age to the cups that it just cannot get all of the air out so that it will not allow enough suction past the flap valves and through the compensation ports.call it it has a "bubble lock" if you want to call it that.the only way to really get enough air out to get back to basic function is with a pressure bleeder at the reservoir. Its one of the issues that also screws up most NOS master cylinders. It could very well be the MC bypassing internally and not bleeding at that age.

I am an expert at fitting things in holes, been doing it a long time Your bleeder is at the bottom of the caliper piston, I'll bet there's an air pocket in the calipers that won't budge till you remove the caliper and get the bleeder upper most Posted: Sun 3:23 am Post subject: Re: Front Brake Line I had to mount them different to the pan but it is solid. Can't find any leaks and I'm not losing fluid out of the reservoir. There isn't any more flex than normal-I even dropped from 23" to 20" in length. I have just replaced the brake pads front and rear on my 2002 volkswagen new beetle and I have no brake. I had to take the brake line off of the right rear caliper so I. I replaced the brake pads on my Daughters 2001 VW Beetle. Is the -3 hose too small in diameter for the EMPI calipers? I have a 2003 turbo s beetle and the clutch pedal looses pressure as it sits a while and when. ![]() The rear are stock early ('56) drums are are tightened all the way. ![]() Problem: The brake pedal now goes all the way to the floor and clearly won't pump up. ![]() ![]() Which all worked fine, but I wanted the banjo fitting so the hose would not hit the trailing arm when turned all the way.
