Finally, after however many weeks. I have a set of working calipers on the car. Tried bleeding the brakes today, but with no success. Well, bled 3 out of 4, the last one the nipple rounded even though I was REALLY gentle with it.
Did in the following order according to haynes:
Drivers rear
Passenger front
Passenger rear
Drivers front (although didnt bleed this one because the nipple rounded.)
As far as what we did...
we undid the bleed nipple, compressed the pedal a few times until the fluid came out in a strong stream. Then compressed it one more time, tightened the nipple, and let the brake pedal out slowly. Repeated for each wheel.
The pedal feels exactly the same. The car does stop, but barely. Have we done something wrong you think? Or just not bled the system enough?
Cheers guys!
