No brake fluid flow
« on: September 03, 2012, 07:03:46 pm »
Trying to bleed my Driver's rear..No fluild..
Disconnected the two rubber connecting lines** ....still no fluid...
The factory steel brake line is bone dry.

So that leaves the factory steel brake line and the brake proportioning valve.

Facing the brake Valve I will assume the top drivers side line go to the drivers rear brake.

If the brake proportioning valve is faulty I will like to tee off the passenger rear line (which is functioning perfectly).

**the two rubber connecting lines were tested with compressed air
however the factory steel brake line will have to be removed for testing (no second person help aviailable).

I had someone pump the brake like crazy to get a drop of fluid out.
After nothing came out I removed the two rubber lines going to the caliper
tried again. nothing

You should invest in speed bleeders

I have one man bleeder....only works if there is brake fluid flowing.

u just put in a different proportioning valve when u did ur abs delete correct?   i would swap out the prop. valve with another unit before you try anything else.  T-ing off the right side line is just trying to mask the actual problem.
