Brakes on earles fork front end
« on: March 28, 2020, 02:09:48 PM »
Anyone have issued trying to bleed brakes on earles fork front ends where the calipers are underneath, about 4 o'clock position?  I can't get pressure to build in my system.  Everything is new except the body of the calipers and the body of the master, new internals, new lines etc.

You have more diagnostic options. These are among them.
  • Empty the master cylinder reservoir. Verify that neither of the ports in the master cylinder piston is clogged. They can be cleaned with fine wire.
  • Verify that the piston moves smoothly and fully through its stroke.
  • If those conditions have been met, try this.
