Hi guys,
I've recently rebuilt all 4 calipers and added a new (second hand) BMC.
After many attempts to bleed the brakes (1 person job) they still only grab right at the end of the travel.
I've put through about 1.5 quarts of brake fluid and it got a bit better but still the brakes are too weak.
I did a "bench bleed" with the BMC installed and lines running into the reservoir.
I then connected the lines and continued to do a 1 man bleed (is it possible the BMC sucked in air at this stage since the lines were empty?).
When I bleed the brakes fluid comes out throughout the pedal stroke however when driving braking action only commences right at the end of the travel.
Before I buy a new BMC what can I do?
